Salford Music Festival! and Malawi!

We're thrilled to be playing at The Eagle in Salford this Friday (30 September) as part of Salford Music Festival! Now in its seventh year, this grass roots, no-nonsense event, is part of the musical life blood of the city. Bob of Aural Delights has more info on his blog...

We're on a great bill alongside The Junta, Cambridge's Bouquet of Dead Crows, and Kit B. And it's free entry!

We'll also be promoting the forthcoming 'Malawi' famine-busting charity compilation out on 1 October on German Shepherd Records, which features (among other delights) a brand new track from ourselves, 'Glossy Magazines'. It's a song you might be familiar with if you've been to any of our gigs this year, and we're very proud to have it included on this worthwhile album.

The Scissors on monster new compilation album!

The Scissors feature alongside 11 other bands on 'Rocket to Romsey', a crackin' compilation put together by Cambridge's long-time champion of punk, indie and agit-pop, R*E*P*E*A*T promotions. Proceeds from sales are going to support Love Music Hate Racism.
Release date is TBC, but will be soon! Watch this space!

Full line up features:
Beverley Kills - Dirty Cousins - DoNotResuscitate - Four Undercover Kings - The Great Mistakes - Johnny Panic - Rats As Big As Dogs - The Scissors - Spaghetti Faction - Volunteers - We Are Godzilla - Ten City Nation - Miss Black America

(...and the sleeve art was designed by The Scissors' very own Stewart Harris, at stewartharrisdesigns.com)
