The Scissors in zombie horror movie!

The Scissors have risen from the grave (or at least their rehearsal space) to get involved with Amy Leigh Hawes' no-budget movie Zombie Daytrip!
As well as providing a recording of 'Your house has ghosts' (a new version of which is up on our myspace) for the soundtrack, Stewart Scissor got all zombified and spent a day lurching around Cambridge trying to scare passers-by. So what's different there?
Pictures of the undead fun can be seen on BBC Cambridgeshire.
More news on when/where you can see the finished movie later...

What next - A Hard Day's Night of the Living Dead?

The Scissors new rehearsal space

Having been thrown out of our Scissors' Secret Laboratory(TM), The Scissors have finally got a new rehearsal space. But it's top secret, a bit like Tracy Island only with more shelf-space (and quite good acoustics)
Now the action playsets are sorted, maybe some Scissors 4" poseable action figures? Moveable parts and accessories sold separately.
Please post your ideas for playsets, outfits, etc!

Now we can gear up for Sunday 21 September, playing at the Portland Arms with Dirty Royals and Aidy. The fun starts about 7.30, so be there!

Vote for Skylon!

Not our song, but the real thing! A campaign is underway to re-build the icon of the 1951 Festival of Britain. You can even vote to get it re-built in Cambridge.

Think it would look nice on the middle of Parker's Piece?

Wherever, we think it's still a lovely metaphor for doomed relationships everywhere...

Portland Arms, 5 July review

We got the glo-sticks out again for Saturday's Portland gig with Cosy Cosy! David Bridge was there, and posted this review on his site.

'...take a slice of Clash, mix in some apocalyptic circus-sideshow keyboards + whack in some lyrics full of nostalgia & dread for good measure... The set was balanced well, building it up before tearing it down with the anthemic "Lucy For London" and "Gone". All in all an enjoyable outing, I thoroughly recommend checking The Scissors out if they're in your area.'

Cheers David!

Your house has ghosts (lyric)

There's a room in your eyes
It's where somebody died
Your house has ghosts

You've been tapping your own table
For a weekend in the dark
Your house has ghosts

Empty bedroom every crashes
You didn't finish what you started
Your house has ghosts

Loud is the new quiet

Things may have seemed quiet in Scissorland for a while, but they're about to get much louder! We've been writing and rehearsing some new stuff - new songs include 'When is a boy not a boy' and 'Your house has ghosts' (lyrics might appear up here shortly to tease and tantalise ya)...
Got some new toys, new sounds - twists, tricks and jangles. In short, much enjoyment to be had! Soon!
