The Scissors compete in Cambridge Band Competition 2009!

We're massively excited to be taking part in the 2009 Cambridge Band Competition! This is one of the main events on the Cambridge music scene calendar, and there'll be a lot of noise about it (and in it).
We'll be playing in the heat on 21 April at the Soul Tree (Wheeler Street, Cambridge).
We need you! Please come along and dance, jump and scream at us - the more noise you make, the better we play!

The Scissors at The Man On The Moon, 20 February

The lovely Donna captured some of the action from Friday's gig at The Man On The Moon, Cambridge. The Scissors had some great support in the shape of London's Popes of Chillitown, ex-Kook Max Rafferty's new band The Third Man, and Cambridge's own up and coming My Little Red Door

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!

Tickets now available for The Scissors + The Popes of Chillitown + The Third Man from www.WeGotTickets.com

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...
