No Jackdaws this time :(

Sadly our Brighton chums Jackdaws have had to drop out of March's gig with us. But we'll bring them to Cambridge soon, don't worry!

In the meantime, check out their live set on Soundcloud. Enjoy!

We'll announce an updated lineup for 7 March shortly...

Psychrock and blues!

We're playing in March back at Cambridge's legendary Cornerhouse (home to a lot of Cambridge's local indie/alt scene), with the lovely Bouquet of Dead Crows (alt acoustic bluesrock), and fresh from Brighton, Jackdaws (howling garage bluesrock).
A bit different, a bit awesome, we reckon!

Our Christmas gift to you - 'Daylight Cinema' remastered!

Happy (slightly early) Christmas!
To celebrate the festive season, we've made our 2010 debut album available now remastered and with bonus tracks!
Head over to our Bandcamp page and 'name your price' (you can choose '£0.00' and get the whole album just by adding your email address to our mailing list).
You can preview all the tracks first if you like, or just dive in. We recommend the latter, obviously.
Enjoy! Happy Christmas!

Scissors-Who at Mill Road Winter Fair

Pic by Nicola K
A huge thanks to everyone who came to see us (and a huge thanks to Mill Road Winter Fair for having us play)! We had a great time, and it wasn't even that cold!
Seeing as it was a fair, we raided the Scissors' dressing up box and donned the attire of Doctor Whos (from left to right) Pertwee, Smith, Troughton and Baker.

Mill Road Winter Fair - this Saturday! Fancy dress quite likely...

We're massively excited to be playing https://www.facebook.com/MillRoadWinterFair this Saturday! We're so excited, we've raided the Scissors' dressing up box and will be playing in fancy dress. Just because we can. But what's the theme of our costumes? WHO knows... You'll just have to come along at 2pm at Ditchburn Gardens to find out!

There's a nice little mention in Local Secrets too!

Keep warm this winter - by dancing like a mad thing!

We're proud to be playing this year's Mill Road Winter Fair on Saturday 7 December (at Ditchburn Gardens stage, at 2pm). There are events, activities and special offers in many of the shops, restaurants and other businesses all along Mill Road, and in some of the side streets, at different times all day long. This includes a huge variety of music!

You can read the full programme or visit www.millroadwinterfair.org to find out what's on.

'Daylight cinema' remastered edition coming soon!

Seeing as we've almost sold out of physical copies of our 2010 debut album 'Daylight Cinema', we thought we'd take the opportunity to remaster it and do a new edition. The original release was, for various reasons, a bit quiet and not mastered exactly as intended!

The new release will have sleeve notes about the context and recording of the album, some great photos from the launch gig, and memorabilia - enabling you to relive those heady days of winter 2009-10! Ahh, the whimpering dog of nostalgia...
We've also included two bonus tracks: the original demo version of dub excursion 'Over and out' (sounding pretty different to the released track), and an earlier recording of 'Lucy for London', dating back to the Scissors' early days, which appeared on podcasts and give-away CDs at gigs.

It's also in a different colour. Just because.

More news about a release date etc soon!
