Concert Preview: Scissors for Lefty at Jet Lounge

Scissors for Lefty is rolling into town tomorrow night to play an all ages show with Suffrajett at Jet Lounge. The San Francisco quintet has landed spots opening for the Arctic Monkeys and The Killers, as well as stage time at this year's South by Southwest Festival. Scissors is currently on a national tour with Juliette and the Licks.

Spin has called Scissors one “of the biggest up-and-coming bands making noise on the West Coast” and Billboard says that the band's new record, Underhanded Romance, is “a stylish, fast-moving collection of danceable rock/pop.” We personally hear shades of early Weezer and Walkmen in the Scissors’ frenetic guitars, and that’s quite alright by us.

Find out for yourself if the Scissors make the cut (oh, we’re so clever!):
