New Rough Trade signings head to the UK for debut shows and some good time lovin'. Probably.
Star date: 26-04-2006, on a trajectory bound from San Francisco, California, USA. Four danceable indie types head to the UK for a host of dates.
Scissors for Lefty are freshly-signed to Rough Trade over here and are popping over for their first UK jaunt, in support of debut single 'Ghetto Ways', released on May 28th.
The band are a hotch-potch of electronic lumpiness, semi-frenetic danceable rock and Rough Trade-trademarked indie attitude. They are, in this humble scribe's opinion, pretty darned good.
Check 'em out at one of these (rather numerate) sound explosions, or 'gigs'.
