Launch date set for new EP 'Afternoons'!

We're planning to launch our new five track EP, 'Afternoons', at a special gig at The Cornerhouse in Cambridge on Friday 21 January!
More details soon…

Full steam ahead on 'Afternoons' EP!

Another productive session last night working on our 'Afternoons' EP. Put finished guitar and vocals on the title track, and we're really pleased with the results so far! Toby Scissor was still full of winter cold but powered valiantly through his parts fulled by copious quantities of 'medicinal' Chilean red wine.

The tracklisting will be:

'H C Ecstatic'
(as yet untitled song, provisionally referred to as 'The French-sounding one')
'Slow motion traffic'
'Afternoons'
'Laugh at yourself'

Now we know what's on it, and how it'll sound, we'll start sketching sleeve art ideas... 24 pack of Crayola and guitarist-safe scissors at the ready, hey ho let's go!

Video from Cambridge Cornerhouse gig

For those who missed it, and for those who were there, here's some footage from Thursday's gig, filmed by the lovely Liz... 'Slow motion traffic', in glorious and atmospheric black and white. It's a bit dark, because the main lighting rig didn't seem to be switched on!

The Scissors, 11 November at Cambridge Cornerhouse

We've been a bit quiet lately, hard at work on our forthcoming EP titled 'Afternoons'... but if you want to catch the title track (and some of the others), this Thursday is your first opportunity.
As you may have heard on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire's The Audio Files last Friday, we're headlining Cambridge Cornerhouse on 11 November, with support from the fantastic Little Alien and Newspeak.

Fun starts from 8pm - it's free entry too, so there's no excuse not to come along and bop your socks off.

The Scissors on Last FM!

The Scissors (uk) are available to listen to on Last.FM! A selection of tracks from our recent album 'Daylight Cinema' are there to liven up your virtual radio, so go and enjoy!

Gigs and pizzas in Camden

We had a great time playing The Enterprise in Camden on Saturday (25 Sept); thanks to everyone who came!

Before the gig we had fantastic pizza at Bar Centrale just down the road next to The Monarch. Huge pizzas, lovely salads, reasonable prices. So if you're looking for pre-gig noms, that's the place.

Scissors come back to Camden, 25 Sept

We're back again at our semi-regular Camden haunt The Enterprise (sort of opposite Chalk Farm tube) on Saturday 25 September. A load of great bands playing, it should be a great night out!
