Itch House

From Louisville Punk/Hardcore History

Itch House’s roots can be traced back to a joke band formed by Carrie Neumayer and a friend while in high school in the late 1990s. Neither had much experience playing music, but they worked together to help each other learn to write songs. As they progressed, the band became less of a joke and more of a serious project, so the search began for musicians to fill out their ranks. They asked a friend, Evan Bailey, to play drums for the band even though he had little experience as a drummer. He did however have access to his brother’s drum kit and quickly accepted their offer. Itch House came together as they found a bass player in Aubree Bernier-Clarke and were given their name by their friend Drew Wilson. Eventually Aubree was replaced on bass by Kelly Scullin. The band played a series of shows over the Summer of 1997 and recorded four songs over two days at Falk Recording Studio. These songs were released in the Fall as a seven inch record on Noise Pollution. Itch House disbanded in the Fall of 1997 after several members of the band left Louisville for college. Evan, Carrie and Kelly went on to form Second Story Man.
