Band Members
Scissors For Lefty is a personality that skips alongside Pop Music, Indie Rock, & Dirty Glam. We have strict standards that land somewhere in between "Pro" & "Garage". Yeah, we know that such a signature is not a sure-fire formula for success, and truly... that's OK.

So, what are we about, hmm?? Mostly, we're endearing friends with a penchant for melody & mischief. We're cuckoo to watch, people tend to dance a lot, and we never skimp on passion. If we were a TV show, we'd be Sesame Street. No!!!....The Muppets!!! Yes, The Muppets, but with a "PG-13" rating for language, and that luscious "R" rating, for imagery.

As the singer, people compare/crtique my voice to Joe Strummer, Jim Morrison, Jarvis Cocker, Julian Casablancas, even James Brown. Well, what can I say?? I sing in the key of "J"....I tried "K" and it lacked soul...so "J" it is!!!

Who have we been blow away by?? How about the stage presence of folks like Kiss, Karen O, Stuart Murdoch, Michael Jackson, Steve Malkmus, Bjork, and of course, Ian Svenonius. Their contributions to exotic performance are fully embraced by us, and no doubt, have influenced our live flame. Then again, they might have had access to time machines??? You never know!!! Into the future they went, and Scissor For Lefty inspiration spilled into their heels :)

We've been very flattered to have either toured with, or opened for: Dirty Pretty Things, Erasure, Smashing Pumpkins, Metric, Panic at The Disco, Blonde Redhead, The French Kicks, Locksley, The Matches, The Fiery Furnaces, Semi Precious Weapons, Kaiser Chiefs, Rykarda Parasol, Elephone, Suffrajette, The Pigeon Detectives, Paolo Nutini, Ben Kweller, Juliette & The Licks, Grandaddy, The Bravery, & The Bloody Heads !!!
