    The Band
    The name Running wi’ Scissors owes a debt to the late Peter Farmer who came up with it as a throwaway remark when the original line-up was searching for a name during the first Southern Fried Festival in Perth (“Aye, youse are up on stage in a minute and youse are just runnin’ wi’ scissors noo!!”). It stuck, although the line-up has changed a few times since that first panic. The current members mostly have other bands they owe allegiance to, so Running wi’ Scissors has always been an occasional band – mainly just for fun. It’s become quite fashionable to dismiss some performers as “just a covers band”. For us, “covers” are about trying to sound as much like the original as possible. What we’ve tried to do here is to shed some new light on songs we’ve enjoyed by other musicians. This album was the product of two days recording and all the tracks were pretty much laid down live, “as is”, with only a couple of things added later. As such, it’s fairly true to what we sound like on those rare live appearances. We hope you enjoy it.
