Scissor Sisters

By John Polly And, remember when the Scissor Sisters performed on Passions? Now, that was some smooth pop-meets-TV magic! MTV Shows Maybe I've not sipped enough of my giant McCafe this morning (think if I write that McDonald's will send me freebies?), but I can't for the life of me figure out what the he...

By E. You guys, Anderson Cooper is straight as all-git-out; I fail to see where these rumors of his gayness persist. What is gay about Amanda Lepore and the front man for the Scissor Sisters? Everyone here and everything about this picture is not at all something that would give certain less inte...

By ephemerist And so Jake Shears, in an interview with Pop Justice, reveals he up and left New York on a whim, settling in Berlin for two months to shake the doldrums:   “I could be anonymous, I didn’t know the language, I needed to go have an adventure. I started up a little life for myself…I went to the zoo. I we...

By Robin Lowe I am a big fan of Scissor Sisters.  The fact is, the are nothing but pure fun.  That, plus the production of their first two albums has been impeccable.  Anyway, yes, this does sound like Blondie, but the heart of the song is in the right place.  Besides, I was hooked on the lyrics,

By Matthew Perpetua Scissor Sisters “Paul McCartney” I think of “Paul McCartney” as being the theme song of this site, as it gets closer to the heart of why I do this than anything else I’ve encountered. In the tune, Jake Shears sings about meeting Paul McCartney in a dream, and listening to his advice and waking...

 CA Blue Turtle was joined late in the show by ES Pitcher and guitarist-singer Noah Reid (also of The New Up) for a cover of the Scissor Sisters' "Take Your Mama." It was an odd choice but a fitting one. Full of stale cologne and end of the dance fatigue ...

By jukeboxjunior In many ways – visual, musical, camp – Scissor Sisters were a shot in the arm for a moribund pop scene. The teen bracket was thriving, sure, mainly through the reality parade, but Jake Shears, Ana Matronic, Babydaddy et al negotiated a glitzy path to the heart of the big record buyer. A crossov...

By Matthew Perpetua Scissor Sisters “Do The Strand” Roxy Music’s “Do The Strand” was already a very campy song, but the Scissor Sisters have gone and pushed that campiness to a glorious extreme, even by their own standards. Though the essence of the song remains the same, the Scissor Sisters version strips ou...

By spankzine Spank fave and contributor Del Marquis has his first solo EP out and it’s a heartfelt departure from his work with the Scissor Sisters. Our take is that it’s like a glass of chai tea –the perfect thaw to a long winter,  warming but not too sweet. A standout is title track ‘Hothouse’ it gives us fr...

By Arjan Writes Fronted by the super charismatic Heloise, this band creates a mesh of late-'70s disco-infused dance punk and '80s synth-pop that might remind you of Scissor Sisters, Glass Candy and perhaps even The Gossip.
