Release Notes:
These cute mutts from California have just signed
to Rough Trade, and an LP ôUnderhanded Romanceö
will hit the UK in October. If you can get a hold
of their self-released ôBrunoö before they open the
main stage on 2nd Sept youÆll see why they declare
that behind the sounds of their dark and melodic
thrift store pop their musical intention is to make
sure you ôcome away from their shows either feeling
a bit more naughty, or a bit more reflective.ö
Who We Are
We're thieves in the night with honey lips, tease
from lands beyond, was it wrong to trade our ways
for honeybees....
Hello. We're Scissors For Lefty. We attempt to
write songs in order to open or close little
chapters of our lives. Documenting little
adventures really. Flirting with disaster,
reiterating current events, poking fun at love gone
wrong, & making love to slang. Yes, that's what we
like to do. We've shared the stage with greats such
as The Arctic Monkeys, Dirty Pretty Things, The
Fiery Furnaces, The 1990's, The Cheat, Lemon Sun,
The Situationalists, Grandaddy, Little Wings, Black
Heart Procession, I am Spoon Bender, Pedro The
Lion, Inner, Rykarda Parasol, Ebb & Flow, The
Wildlife, and many, many more. Like other kids in
the indie genre, we find ourselves performing
fasties, pretties, pillow talkies, etc... Our hope
is that you can come away from our shows either
feeling a bit more naughty, or a bit more
reflective.
San Luis Obispo is where we met, and now San
Francisco is where we happily reside. We work our
little rears off in order to afford living in this
contagious city. Some days the sun will spoil you
rotten out at Dolores Park. Other days you might
find yourself running for your life out of video
store robbery, or wake to the sound of your car
being shot up with an uzi, or stroll outside
wondering where the van went... (all true)

It's fruitless....it's all the same stuff that
you'd get from any I-Pod stolen out of an old
Volvo. Aesthetically, we aspire to be the next step
down from such bands. However, for sheer "low-fi"
entertainment value, not to mention, endearing
quirks, we put 'em to shame.
