"The Scissor Sisters, a home town band born in NYC's gay dance clubs, proved Tuesday that you can't be too campy.It wasn't exactly a four-year stage hiatus, but the Scissor Sisters burned through tracks like "Filthy/Gorgeous," "Skin Tight," "Any Which Way," "She's My Man", "Whole New Way," and many more at Terminal 5 in NYC on Tuesday and Wednesday (aka last night, 8/25). Casey Spooner (of Fischerspooner) and DJ Sammy Jo (as usual) were on crowd-warm-up detail.At the first night of two performances at Terminal 5, the Sisters -- featuring him-and-her lead vocalists Jake Shears and Ana Matronic in leather and Lycra -- played a powerhouse 100-minute set that seemed to release all of the band's pent-up energy after a four-year stage and recording hiatus.
The colorful, burlesque-inspired show combined fashion, frantic dance moves and falsetto vocal harmonies that would have made the Bee Gees jealous. The Scissor Sisters also projected a B-52's-like knack for call-and- response party anthems." -[NY Post]

I dint know this band much, but down the hall from my apt there are two Lebanese girls that I refer to as "the hummus sisters". I'd much rather spend an evening with them.

I want to spend time with the hummus sisters. I'd love a woman covered in hummus.
