DESCRIPTION:I'll discuss two-dimensional field theories that\, while trans
 lationally invariant\,  are not Lorentz invariant. They have left (but not
  right) scaling symmetry. These theories have appeared in the context of A
 dS/CFT as holographic duals of warped AdS backgrounds in Topologically Mas
 sive Gravity\, TsT deformations of exact string theory solutions and Kerr/
 CFT duality. I'll show that\, as in the usual CFT case\, these global symm
 etries extended to an infinite dimensional algebra. Furthermore\, I'll exp
 lain that these symmetries are enough to show the existence of a Cardy-lik
 e formula for the asymptotic density of states. This purely field theoreti
 c result matches calculations of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of black h
 oles in the bulk dual\, including Kerr Black Holes. Lastly I'll discuss th
 e background fields that couple to these theories and I'll propose a frame
 work for building a holographic dual systematically.
