When I first heard about this group, I thought they were women, sisters, from the UK, but the voices were not soft enough, and that sparked an interest. This group is outrageous! They push all the buttons with their music, it’s almost danceable porn, and you can’t help but love it. It’s refreshing yet familiar, sort of 80’s, but today.
They are an American pop, rock, glam music group who make music you can shake your stuff too, no matter who you are. Lead singer Jake Shear’s falsetto brings in the Bee Gee’s vibe, and with Ana Matronic you get an Abba thing going on, but fun, and all of it is danceable at the same time. Other members: Babydaddy, Del Marquis, and Randy Real, make up the music club dance band sound.
Their 3rd Studio Album NIGHT WORK out in June 2010 is a fun danceable album, featuring songs “Fire With Fire”, see video on their website, and “Any Which Way You Can”, also video on Website, and “Harder You Get”, “Sex and Violence”, and more. Some have described the album as super sexy and sleazy, but I suggest you keep an open mind, and not take it to seriously, just enjoy it for what it is.
They are currently touring with Lady Gaga as the opening act of “The Monster Ball Tour”. The Scissor Sisters are a huge hit in the UK. They have had 6 nominations for The BRIT music awards and 3 wins since they began in 2001, and they have had one Grammy nomination in 2005 for Best Dance Recording. They have had much commercial success with their music used in movies, and TV shows and they definitely are the dance band to keep an eye on.
They have had a bit of run-in with Wal-Mart in the past when they refused to stock one of their albums, because of the song “Tits On The Radio” when the Scissor Sisters refused to produce a clean version for sale. They believe kids are exposed to far worse with Eminem’s negative messages, and don’t see the need to redo the song.
They may be contentious, but they are talented, and it is about the music and not their personal lives, so enjoy the music and dance the night away!
