The Scissor Girls were a , , , trio from Chicago, Illinois. The idea to form the group was conceived during the late eighties by both Azita Youssefi, and 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. Youssefi, Zollinger, and Melowic would go on to release 2 albums and go on various nation-wide tours, until Zollinger decided to call it quits in 1994. She was replaced by Kelly Kuvo, who was a long time friend of the band. With the new lineup, they would go on and release their 1996 album We People Space With Phantoms on the Atavistic record label.

The trio disbanded later that year due to financial issues. Azita went on to form Bride of No-No and to record and perform as a solo artist.

    Scissor girls are welcome to scissor me any day. I hate that when I want to search pictures of them, nothing but girls scissoring pop up...

    One of five essential bands from Chicago in the mid to late-90s (the others are the Flying Luttenbachers, Trenchmouth, Math, Lake of Dracula, and US Maple).
