Scissor Sisters at Live 8

The Scissor Sisters was formed in 2001 by lead vocalist Jake Shears. The controversial five-piece band was inspired by glam rock, drag queens, and burlesque. The full name of their band was actually called the Dead Lesbian and the Fibrillating Scissor Sisters. (Scissor Sister is a slang term that refers to a lesbian sex position.)

Their first single titled Laura had a limited release in 2003, but still managed to reach #54 in the UK singles charts.

The group actually made their mark in late 2003, early 2004 with their cover version of the Pink Floyd song Comfortably Numb. It was the B-side to their single Electrobix.

The band includes founder Jake Shears (born Jason Sellards, lead vocals), Ana Matronic (born Ana Lynch, vocals), Del Marquis (born Derek Gruen, guitar), Babydaddy (born Scott Hoffman, bass guitarist), and Paddy Boom (born Patrick Secord, drums).

The lyrics of their songs, mainly written by Jake Shears and Babydaddy, are known for their mixture of humor and calamity. They are known for, incorporating elements of burlesque and drag shows, as well as performance art, into their theatrical live shows.

They have been in and out of the charts with hits like "Take Your Mama:, the re-release of "Laura", the popular ballad titled "Mary, and a track titled "Filthy Gorgeous". All the singles came from their debut album titled Scissor Sisters.

Their music is obviously influenced by Elton John, Supertramp , the Bee Gees, Duran Duran, , and various other dance, rock, and funk acts.

They are well-known for brawny live performances, and opened for Duran Duran's 2004 reunion tour. More recently they have received a lot of attention form VH1 and MTV. In the USA, two of their videos have received much airtime: "Take Your Mama" and "Laura".

On July 2, 2005, the group did not disappoint at Live 8. Their set included the previously unheard song "Everybody Wants The Same Thing".
