Return to Ipswich

We're back in Ipswich this month! It's been a few years, but we'll be at The Smokehouse on 16 March, with other German Shepherd Records artists Bouquet of Dead Crows and Umbrella Assassins! Should be a great night, hope to see you there!

19 April alt-rock night, Cambridge Cornerhouse!

We're thrilled to be back at the Cornerhouse again with some mighty Cambridge bands of the alt-rock flavour! Our good friends Bouquet of Dead Crows, who are busy recording their new album, plus the fabulously tuneful Shyer, who are definitely a band to watch!

It's 19 April at ye good olde Cornerhouse, Newmarket Road...

Bouquet of Dead Crows album launch a triumphant night!

Big thanks to everyone who made Friday night such a great time! We supported Bouquet of Dead Crows for their album launch, alongside Gavin Chappell-Bates and Cherry White.
Cambridge Music Reviews were there to review the whole evening, and had these nice words to say about our set:

'An exuberant performance from Cambridge stalwarts The Scissors impressed the growing audience, their sharp pop songs a riot of colourful Hammond organ flavoured keyboards, edgy guitar, crescendos of drums and punching bass, with some interesting lyrical twists. Hopefully a new CD is due soon, to include the dark blues of ‘Why Don’t You Cry?’ currently one of the standout songs in their live set.'

Read the full review for more about the whole evening! We had a fantastic time playing to a great crowd alongside awesome acts. What more can one ask for?

Bouquet of (Un)Dead Crows video features a certain Scissor...

It's great to see our chums Bouquet of Dead Crows going places with their new single released on German Shepherd Records! Here's a nice article about it.
And here's the fab video for it (watch out for a familiar-looking zombie...)!

Groovin' the Grape!

It's been a little while since we've been in live action (though it was a very busy summer, with a few mystery private gigs between the scheduled ones), but we're back!
Friday 17 October we'll be playing Cambridge's The Grapes (19 Histon Road, CB4 3JB), with our fantastic chums Bouquet of Dead Crows and Trouser Crisis!
The perfect end to your week - and free entry too!
