A delicate mix of sultry crooning, tender melodies, and bittersweet lyrics, Leftover Cuties harkens back to a simpler age when music was as likely to come from a soup-line or a smoke filled speakeasy as it was from a recording studio.

Shirli McAllen (singer/songwriter) and Austin Nicholsen (bassist/songwriter) began working together in 2003, but it would be over four years before they began their lives together as Leftover Cuties. It was, in fact, an impromptu jam session with Austin's ukulele that led to the creation of the Cuties first song and the title track of their debut EP. Seizing that creative seed, Austin and Shirli began working on Leftover Cuties in earnest; writing songs, recording, and assembling band members. After long months of hard work, the Cuties played their first show at The Hotel Café in late 2008 to a packed house. Now with their recently released debut EP "Game Called Life", the Cuties are already hard at work on their forthcoming full length album due out in late 2009.

"Game Called Life", Leftover Cuties debut EP was released on February 21st! The EP was produced by well known producer/mixer/engineer Ryan Hewitt (Currently working with Rick Rubin on the Avett Brothers record and has workd with John Frusiante, Cat Power, Red hot Chili Peppers, Blink-182, Tom Petty, We Are Scientists, etc...). Now available for purchase at the Cuties own Boutique. Also available on CD Baby and I Tunes!

EP Review by: Vivian Hua- Redefine Magazine

"... Leftover Cuties immediately bring to mind vintage fashion and jazz clubs circa the '40s and '50s. Their sound is a revitalized take on music from a time that seems more distant than it is -- a time when artists like Billie Holiday and Etta James roamed the musical streets."

"... a charming five track EP that pulls from the past and reminds the public of the great music they've forgotten while moving into the 21st century. At the heart of this sound is the sultry voice of Shirli McAllen, backed by the harmonies of Ruthie Garibay. An underlying blend of ukulele, harmonica, whistle, bass, and light percussion by Austin Nicholsen and Stuart Johnson guarantee a sense of class and playfulness to even the most desperate of Leftover Cuties' tracks."

" ... If promoted correctly, they could make some serious waves. They've developed a sound that seems like much more than just a flash in the pan, and they've got an elegant aesthetic to match. Akin to how bands like DeVotchKa and Gogol Bordello brought gypsy punk to the indie rock masses, a band like Leftover Cuties could start a similar movement, by reminding the indie rock masses of the overlooked jazzy greatness of the near past."

Leftover Cuties were featured on the podcast that was developed as the soundtrack for "Glow" - an all night art fest on the beach of Santa Monica.

I wish I could make it. I've always felt 26... or on a good day 27 years old in spirit but truth be told I'm only 20.

Good luck
I'm certain you guys will be nothing short of spectacular.

Thanks so much for the accept. I heard about you guys when Perez Hilton featured your cover of Poker Face via his blog or twitter (I can't remember haha) & as soon as I heard it, I instantly fell in love with your guys music. I gave the rest of your work on your myspace a listen & became an instant fan, as the combination of beautiful melodies & lovely vocals drew me in. I hope you guys make it big but I'll settle for a tour date in my hometown of Vancouver Canada haha. Thanks, & keep up the fabulous work <3!
