Scissor Sisters Biography

Scissor Sisters are an American band "spawned by the scuzzy, gay nightlife scene of New York" who took their name from a sexual position between two women also known as tribadism. Formed in 2001, its members comprise Jake Shears and Ana Matronic as vocalists, Babydaddy as multi-instrumentalist, Del Marquis as lead guitar/bassist, and Randy Real as drummer (who replaced Paddy Boom).

Following the release of their Grammy-nominated and chart-topping disco version of "Comfortably Numb", Scissor Sisters came to prominence with the unveiling of their debut album Scissor Sisters (2004) which became an international success particularly in the UK (a country they call their "spiritual home") where it reached number 1, was the best-selling album of 2004, was later certified platinum by the BPI and accrued them 3 BRIT Awards in 2005. All 5 of its singles reached positions within the top 20 of the UK Singles Chart while "Filthy/Gorgeous" also scored the band their first number 1 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs, despite the album's mere success in their native US. The album continued its success in countries around Europe, in Australia and in Canada before the release of the band's second studio album Ta-Dah (2006) which proved to be another commercial and critical success and scored them their second consecutive UK number 1 album and produced their first UK number 1 single "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'". Displaying a shift towards a more club-oriented sound, their third studio album Night Work (2010) charted at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart, number 1 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart and in the top 10 of several international territories.

Well-recognized for their controversial and transgressive live performances, Scissor Sisters have performed around the world. They have also collaborated with a number of other well known pop musicians including Elton John and Kylie Minogue; these particular collaborations have been received positively by both critics and other notable figures. In 2004, Bono, lead vocalist of rock band U2, described Scissor Sisters as "the best pop group in the world". They have also collaborated with Global Cool in 2007 on one of their green lifestyle campaigns.

Scissor Sisters Lyrics

Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancin' Lyrics

Wake up in the morning with a head like 'What ya done?'
This used to be the life but I don't need another one
Good luck cuttin' nothin', carryin' on, you wear them gowns
So how come I feel so lonely when you're up gettin' down?

You can see that you're being surrounded
From every direction
And love was just something you found
To add to your collection

Dancing on the speakers
Are you peaking with tweakers
Bigots and the breeders on the scene
The night don't last forever

I gave passes to boarder
Gave my bags straight to the porter
Used my Zippo as a guiding light
I see smoke upon the water

Scissor Sisters - Night Work Lyrics

When I was a young boy
I pretended I had a job
My daddy said, "Pretty woman
Mama married into the mob"
