Scissor Sisters Concert in the Hermitage Garden
Клубные российские · 13.08.2004
New York-based collective Scissor Sisters is the most sensational group of the year. Scissor Sisters is a hyper-scale project in its musical eclecticism. It encompasses funk, acid-jazz, and synth-pop. Scissor Sisters' concerts are colorful shows full of rock-and-roll drive and disco chic: extravagantly dressed musicians put on a wild spectacle. The performance by Scissor Sisters in Moscow will be part of their worldwide tour in support of their eponymous debut album, just released on the Universal label, with a chance to become the best release of 2004. Scissor Sisters, a quartet where each of the five members is a seasoned musician, was brought together a few years ago at a club where they met at a party. Their cover version of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" was first noticed by Pete Tong (a well-known DJ and producer in the UK, host of the popular radio show "Essential Selection"). Initially, "Comfortably Numb" became a club hit, bringing fame to Scissor Sisters, and then the group presented the world with the hit charm of their entire repertoire. The group 'Scissor Sisters' was supposed to appear. They became a symbol of real entertainment. It's an atmosphere where you can truly go crazy and have fun. 'The REAL FUN!' - this is how New York show business defines the music of 'Scissor Sisters'! 'Scissor Sisters' performed at the 'Roxy' Club in New York alongside well-known musicians such as Fischerspooner, Miss Kittin, Ladytron, and many other prominent artists of the electro-clash scene. Collaboration with DJ Tiga led to two remixes of their hit 'Comfortably Numb'. All the songs performed by 'Scissor Sisters' are real hits distinguished by stunning memorability. The vocal style carries powerful energy. It's all glam rock, passed through disco and cabaret carnival. It's acid-funk grimacing over the brightest acoustic legacies - from David Bowie to Primal Scream. All 'Scissor Sisters' compositions are literally infused with sarcasm. Cutting wit permeates their witty lyrics. There is a crazy buzz around the group: they are constantly appearing on the covers of all the world's music magazines - in particular, the provocative 'sisters' graced the pages of the prestigious 'Q' magazine. 'Scissor Sisters' tour all over Europe and America, drawing unimaginable crowds. The concert venue in Los Angeles couldn't even accommodate all the fans, with several hundred people eventually crowding the entrance! 'Scissor Sisters' perform at the famous Wembley Stadium in London alongside 'Duran Duran'. Just recently, in early July, they shared the stage with Peter Gabriel and 'AIR'. The group 'Lamb' performed as their support act. The first eponymous album 'Scissor Sisters' immediately goes 'platinum' in the UK and, of course, enters the top ten best-selling CDs. Liza Minnelli prefers to watch their concerts from backstage so she can enjoy them without the distraction of singing along and dancing.
