Scissor Sisters.

Love this group. I really enjoy their quasi-queer-rock from the first 2 records. On their recent one, Night Work, it's more electrofunk from Stuart Price's production. Overall, it's a perfect release but it just lacks the grit you can find in the demos and deep cuts on the first 2. Any other fans of the Sisters?

biggrin biggrin Big Fan here. They're great live, especially Ana Matronic. I know Jake Shears is the "front man," but from all the live shows I've seen he didn't really seem to connect with the audience. He's all over the place with too many staqe antics. Ana, on the other hand, was the band leader in my opinion. She just commands attention on stage.

"Any Which Way," is my current fave.

I've not seen the Sisters live yet, but Ana has a much better live voice than Jake does. Jake is probably really coked up during the shows. lol Jake seems to try pretty hard, especially nowadays, but I honestly don't care much for his falsetto (on songs like IDFLD live). I'm thinking he got vocal training to pull off the Night Work songs live.

This is good, though, as I am sure you've seen. Jake really tries his heart out.
