“There’s something about the so-sweetly-sung and sad lyrics combined with up-tempo horns and major chords that really sticks.” ~ The A.V. Club
“…a unique sound that’s equal parts past-era and progressive.” ~ Lucky Magazine
“ …a progressive modern pop album, with thoughtful arrangements, catchy tunes, and singer Shirli McAllen’s sultry croon standing proud above it all.” ~ KCRW

Los Angeles-based quartet Leftover Cuties released their sophomore The Spark & The Fire LP last year to critical & fan acclaim. Powered by songstress Shirli McAllen’s irresistibly timeless vocals & the band’s unique brand of classic-yet-progressive noir pop, the band will swing stylishly into Austin this March for a flurry of showcases at SXSW!
Not a bunch to relegate their fun-loving personalities to the studio, the Cuties just shared their Las Vegas-shot “Elevator Sessions,” providing unsuspecting riders their very own live (and very intimate!) elevator music. Watch as total strangers melt in a matter of seconds as McAllen spontaneously serenades a bride-to-be with “At Last,” and the band’s signature trumpet & upright bass get everyone dancing. Check out the enchanting “Elevator Sessions” HERE!
The Spark & The Fire is a remarkable 12-track journey that swings from smoke-filled Bourbon St. to tropical island getaways (available now via the Leftover Cuties webstore & iTunes). Having shared their captivating live show across North America, and performed alongside the Alabama Shakes, Pink Martini, Shelby Lynne, and Kitty Daisy & Lewis among others, the Cuties are excited to continue sharing their catchy, forward-thinking pop tunes with the world!
