“The Scissor Sisters, a home town band born in NYC’s gay dance clubs, proved Tuesday that you can’t be too campy.
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]
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.
More pics from Wednesday with the setlist, some videos and lots more tour dates (which they’re playing in support of a new album), and the new video for “Any Which Way”, below…
