Scissor Sisters In HK and SG!
Cutting it a bit close but the Scissor Sisters and their infectious disco beat are just what you need to start the year with. Coming to HK on 5 January and to Singapore on 9 January, the chart topping New York disco pop group SCISSOR SISTERS are bringing their infectious dance floor anthems via vocalists Jake Shears and Ana Matronic, multi-instrumentalist Baby Daddy and lead guitar Del Marquis.
Entertainers at heart, Scissor Sisters have earned a reputation for their humorous, controversial and outright transgressive, live performances that have filled venues from New York’s Bowery Ballroom to London’s O2 Arena. There’s really nothing the band won’t do to make you dance and get lost in the beat. They’ve infamously collaborated with Jim Henson’s Muppets for their opening performance at the Brit Awards in 2005, and in 2010, stole the show at Glastonbury when they performed a duet (and grinded) with Kylie Minogue for their single “Any Which Way.”
They first came to light on the New York Club scene and then had a hot with their first single, a jacked-up disco version of Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” which scored a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Record and the top-selling album of 2004 in the UK and sweeping the Brit Awards for that year. The follow-up, “Ta-Dah,” topped the UK charts for 27 weeks and their single “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’” was the fourth best-selling single in the UK in 2006. Their latest effort, the pulsating, critical-success “Night Work” (co-produced by the club wizard Stuart Price who is best known for his work on Madonna’s “Confessions on a Dancefloor”), debuted at #2 on the UK Charts, #1 on the US Billboard Independent Album charts, and in the top 10 in several international territories.
Despite becoming chart toppers and festival headliners throughout the world, the Scissor Sisters have never turned away from the all-inclusive magic of their former downtown stomping grounds. Working in the great tradition of dance music that seeks endless possibility, the band flips musical and aesthetic conventions on their head in favor of a belief that music will set you free.
