In early 2004, Boyskout relocated to New York City and were evidently a hit on the local music scene, though they returned to the Bay Area later that year.  A Summer 2004 story posted on neonnyc.com raved about the band:  “If ever there was a group destined to be a New York, New York outfit, Boy Skout (alternately known as Boyskout and BoySkout) is it.  We caught them for the first time at Pianos as a trio – their keyboardist/vocalist [China Lajczock] having recently departed.  And we had heard that the transition to a threesome had punked them up a bit more.”  Leslie Satterfield had become the lead vocalist at this point.
