Cut by a Girl

 The Fems of Feb.

 

The Scissor Girls were a No Wave revivalists, noise-rock, experimental, punk trio from Chicago, Illinois. 

The idea to form the group was conceived during the late eighties by Azita Youssefi & Heather Melowic when they were living in their hometown of Washington, DC. 

In 1989 Youssefi met SueAnne Zollinger while attending the Art Institute of Chicago & recruited her to round out the trio. 

The Scissor Girls released two albums, three 7"ers, & two EPs. 

Zollinger decided to call it quits in 1994. She was replaced by Kelly Kuvo, a long time friend of the band. The new trio disbanded later that year due to financial issues. Singer & bassist Azita went on to form Bride of No-No & to record/perform as a solo artist. You can find some of her solo work here
