The Lovemakers Scott Blonde, Lisa Light, Kenneth Hard, Julia Johari -from Oakland, CA -Lisa Light and Scott Blonde cut the ties that bind lovers while recording their major label debut, Times of Romance, in 2005. However, since then they have carried a different torch together, fueled by the sorts of tensions ubiquitous in the rock and roll lexicon: love, ennui, anger, desperation, poverty, aesthetic differences, and above all, the love of making music. Together. Since breaking out from Oakland warehouse parties to international club and festival bookings, the band is now notorious for their raw, theatrical, anything-goes live performances and their catchy, offbeat pop sensibility. Lisa Light wraps the audience's writhing bodies with her knowing eyes, sometimes entering the audience for a face-to-face challenge, while Scott Blonde thrashes his guitar onstage. Scissors For Lefty Singer - Bryan Garza, Guitar - Robby Garza, Bass - Eric garza, Keys - Peter Krimmel, Drums - james Krimmel -from San Francisco, CA -WHAT'S THEIR STORY?? Scissors For Lefty is a San Francisco Band with a sophisticated pop style combining elements of Indie, Yesteryear, and Dirty Glam. They are about as playful as an arty pop band can get: melodies in between melodies, jangly guitar, glittery keyboard, of Montreal-esque bass, galloping propulsion from a 6 foot 10 drummer, all fronted by heavy-breathing tales of romance and counter-culture glow. The group clearly sounds like they are enjoying themselves. Cute, sexy, and a little terrifying. Scissors For Lefty has played all over the United States and the United Kingdom, including tours with the following bands: Arctic Monkeys, 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, Black Heart Procession, Suffrajette, The Pigeon Detectives, Paolo Nutini, Ben Kweller, Juliette & The Licks, Grandaddy, The Bravery, The Bloody Heads, White Lies, Mr. Loveless, and more... Following up on last year's 3rd album release (Bangs & Lashes), Scissors For Lefty plans to head back into the studio this Summer/Fall, with the hopes of releasing yet another heartfelt body of work in Early 2016. DJ Aaron Axelsen Aaron Axelsen -from Oakland, CA -Aaron Axelsen may have been blessed with golden ears. He's got a knack for finding good music. Green Day, Coldplay, Radiohead and Muse are just a few of the bands that he's help bring to the airwaves. But his efforts don't stop there. The Live 105 music director wears many hats, aside from booking bands for the uber-hip BFD, Axelsen runs the indie-friendly Popscene every Thursday night. More importantly, Axelsen is a huge advocate for local music, just ask Papa Roach, the Lovemakers and Thriving Ivory. |
