[Scissors For Lefty]
"Oh sadder days no longer, we should celebuh-buh-buh-brate."There is something slighty torturous about being left-handed and using a pair of scissors. After a while of cuting with any ole' pair, it's a bit like like walking with shoes on the wrong foot - uncomfortable. On top of that, the only pair of "special" scissors you could get to were always broken or just plain craptastic in the first place. At that, I feel like the name Scissors For Lefty is mocking me. Hailing from San Francisco, Scissors For Lefty is a rock quintet that came together as a reason for five people to just hang out. Of course, a reason like that never sees a group setting foot beyond the garage, so maybe it's their familial bonds keeping them together. The group is, after all, composted of two sets of brothers and an uncle. Whether it be family ties or BFF power, Scissors For Lefty has something going on. While most bands from the Golden State draw from it's sunny rays, Scissors For Lefty takes more influence from the Brits and have garnered comparisons to bands like Franz and the Kaiser Chiefs. The band's second album, Underhanded Romance, is due out June 12 under label Eenie Meenie Records, and the band has plans to tour up and down California and a few other scatterings including Summerfest.
