We're five friends.
Lovemakers to slang.
Disarming people with sarcastic wit, guised as innocence, lacking in both.
Previously, thieves in the night with honey lips...

Hello. We're Scissors For Lefty. Three Garza's. Two Krimmel's. 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. All excuses for us to just hang out. Fiscally irresponsible, or perhaps, we're simmering as investors. We've shared the stage with greats to us, such as The Arctic Monkeys, Dirty Pretty Things, The Fiery Furnaces, The 1990's, The Cheat, Lemon Sun, The Situationists, Paul Weller, DJ AM, Grandaddy, Little Wings, The Faraday Effect, Black Heart Procession, Locksley, The Coral, I am Spoon Bender, Pedro The Lion, Inner, Rykarda Parasol, The Wildlife, and many, many more. I dunno, I think we've played about Ninety Nine shows by now. Like others in the slippery 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 asses off, and burn the candle from all angles, 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.
