16 January CUSU gig CANCELLED

We are very sorry to announce the cancellation of this gig, due to a last minute decision made by the providers of the venue, Cambridge Union Society.We are very disappointed by this, especially given the hard work that had gone into preparing for and organising the event, and we would like to be able to pass on the apologies of Cambridge Union Society for the inconvenience and disappointment this has caused - but we can't, because they haven't offered an apology in any shape or form.
You'll just have to make do with ours in the meantime.
Our heartfelt thanks go to Jo from Acoustic Stage, The Buffalo Club and everyone else who tried so hard (but sadly in vain) to find an alternative venue at the last minute.

Four bands, four quid!

The Scissors' first gig of the new year will be on Friday 16 January at Cambridge University Student Union Bar (9a Bridge Street, just behind the Round Church). It's £4 entry (or £3 for CUSU, and free for CUS members) - for which you get four top bands, and drinks at student bar prices!
Also on the bill are Buffalo Club, T.O.Y. Radio and Horseman Shakes and the Draymen. Should be a good night!
Cambridge's popular community FM station 209Radio will be giving it a mention, and playing a Scissor track or two beforehand, so listen out for that too...

The Third Man

We're pleased to announce that our special guests for the 20 February gig at The Man On The Moon, Cambridge are The Third Man - the new band featuring Max Rafferty (formerly of The Kooks) on vocals and guitar. Check out http://www.thethirdman.co.uk/ to find out more...
With London's finest indie/pop/ska combo The Popes of Chillitown also on the bill it promises to be a mighty fun evening!

The Scissors recording Skylon and Your House Has Ghosts

The Scissors spent yesterday (20 December) having a very productive recording session, engineered by Chris Pepper. In eight busy hours, fuelled by Dr Pepper, chilli cheese snacks and Cadbury's chocolate fingers we got Skylon and Your House Has Ghosts in the can. Hear the results on our myspace shortly (or on Chris' myspace)!

Eating the chilli snacks with chocolate fingers together really worked...

Very Special Guest on 20 Feb The Scissors / Popes of Chillitown gig

We've got a Very Special Guest joining The Scissors and The Popes of Chillitown when we play at The Man On The Moon in Cambridge on 20 February! We'll tell you more next week. In the meantime, we'll leave you guessing, and maybe feeling just a little bit Kooky…

Watch this space!

The Scissors at The Alma, 29 November

We had a great fun night on Saturday, at The Alma (a little treasure of a pub tucked away in Russell Court, off Hills Road). The Brackets and Umbrella Assassins played some mighty stuff too, cheers guys! The Brackets kindly lent the use of their monster bass rig, which probably shook the foundations of the surrounding buildings a bit, but was very satisfying to play through. Can't beat a good rumble.

The bar ran out of rum though...
