LATEST NEWS:9-15-2008: The band would like to thank Richie Fradianni, for his many years of service playing drums for our band, and it's with heartfelt regret that Richie had to leave the band. Richie will continue to work with the band on bookings and promotion. We'd like to thank him for all he's done and all he continues to do for our band. Replacing Richie on drums, the band has chosen Colin Griffen and we'd like to thank him for accepting this position. Please see Colin's bio for a little bit about him. 4-13-2007: When we started this band, RUNNING WITH SCISSORS was a unique name with only one other band using it in the UK. Now there are at least 5 bands in CT alone using this name and and who knows how many others in the country. So, in order to remain unique, and to disassociate us with the movie, "Running with Scissors", we have decided to change our name to "SCISSOR RUNNERS". The new name is more consistent with the site name, and people have been calling us Scissor Runners anyway. We are now Scissor Runners!The name has changed but the members are still the same. We will still produce the dangerous rock, blues and soul you've come to love.
THE BAND WOULD LIKE TO THANK CHRISTINE, DREW & MORGAN FOR ALLOWING US TO INVADE THEIR SPACE! IT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!! HERE'S TO YOU GUYS...XXOO!
6-8-2005: The band would like to thank Loyce Hood (Mom), from www.loycehoodphoto.com for all her hard work and time. Without her this site would not be possible! Thanks for all the great photo's and help, love & kisses from all of us!!
