Pop music has exploded in an edgy, sexy, supremely tuneful commotion
thanks to the uncommonly brilliant sounds of the Scissor Sisters.
Creative sparks first ignited five years ago, when a then 19-year-old
explosion of energy called Jake Shears was introduced to a
multi-instrumentalist who goes by the title of Babydaddy. Fired up by a
passion for solid songwriting and off-the-wall humour, they joined
forces to write hook-studded tunes, adopted NYC as their home and
agreed on a cheeky name that’s caused confusion and provoked many
blushes in turn. “None of us are lesbians, though” says Scissor
Sisters, helpfully.
Sex, inevitably, plays a significant part in the music. After all, Jake
discovered a knack for performance during his stint as a go-go dancer,
to raise funds for a European college trip. “I’m so grateful that I
went through that phase of dancing on bars for dollars!” he says. “It
made me totally unashamed to go crazy. Once you’ve taken your clothes
off in front of hundreds of people, things get a lot easier.”
Shameless? Absolutely, and infectiously essential, too. Scissor Sisters
bring together rollicking guitar riffs, throbbing synths and a whole
bunch of wicked lyrics. Their influences skitter through glimmers of
vintage Bowie, Roxy Music, and Elton john to Giorgio Moroder, burlesque
theatre and rock opera. At college, Jake had majored in Fiction Writing
and numbers like the catch glam rockin’ groove of the their major-label
single ‘Laura’ (I gotta give myself one more chance/To be the man that
I know I am) weave feature-length stories through song. Sometimes, it
sounds like they’re partying hard on cheap champagne; at other points,
the moods are downtempo, and beautifully, surprisingly wistful:
radio-friendly soundtracks for the morning after.
Music this sparky calls for suckerpunch live presence to match, and
before they were honing their studio skills, Scissor sisters were
whipping up a storm with their shows: on home turf at first, and more
recently extending to Europe (in Barcelona not long ago, one impressed
spectator described them as ‘a life-changing experience’).
It was on the New York live circuit that the original duo teamed up
with a third full-time Scissor Sister: performance artist Ana Matronic.
“She’s tough, amazing, glamorous…” the boys enthuse. The hostess of a
decadent cabaret show in the Lower East Side who’d learned her magic on
the San Francisco scene (“At 20, I realized I’m a drag queen stuck in a
woman’s body!” she laughs) she first met Jake at a Halloween party,
where she’d dressed as a Warhol Factory reject, and he was in the guise
of, erm ‘a back-alley abortion’. She recalls: “We both took one look at
each other and thought” “hey you’re cool!”
Scissor Sisters actually made their live debut appearance at Ana’s club
in late 2001, and now the stately lady is a fixture at their dates
(where the trio are joined by charismatic friends Del Marquis on guitar
and Patrick Seacor on drums), and lends her own crisp tones to record.
Ana neatly sums up the outfit’s stance: “What we do is about people
displaying their fantasies on the outside, trying to break out of the
every day, and look like their dreams.”
There’s no denying that they’ve encouraged a great deal of audience
interaction too, which has already included a 75-year-old fan at one
show. “when it’s 430am and you’ve got grandma on stage partying with
you, you know something works” laughs Jake.
It’s little wonder that The Village Voice lauded Scissor Sisters as ‘a
rock unti who aren’t afraid to play disco; another surefire highlight
of their repertoire has them reworking Pink Floyd’s prog rock rehab
classic ‘Comfortably Numb’ into a full-blown bootylicious anthem, with
Jake skillfully providing Bee-Gees styled vocals (“I’ve always loved
singing in falsetto”) and a ‘Frankie Says Relax’ retro twist. Perhaps
the fusion shouldn’t work, but the genuinely make the song their own,
with massive glitterball panache.
“I don’t think we’re afraid to play anything” adds Jake. “Pop should be
meaningful again. It shouldn’t be a dirty word. We’re not making fun of
anything we do and there’s no way we’re going to sound manufactured.
Our songs are accessible enough to break through barriers. Actually,
we’ve been meaning to write some country music…” Before they go down
that particular road for real (anything’s possible, as Jake regards
songwriting as ‘divine intervention.), Babydaddy points out “Of course
we love the dancefloor, but a nice mélange of influences is always
going to take you someplace new. From the very beginning we were
saying: “Let’s make this large than life.”
And so it is. With three unmistakably individual and attitude-packed
New Yorkers at the core (Jake: “ I would have never got together with
this group of people in any other place”; “Babydaddy: ”We do what we
want without compromising”), Scissor Sisters’ mission to inject fun and
frisson back into culture has just gotta be big. Cutting edge has never
sounded more irresistibly decadent.
1. Better luck next time
I know i'm into you
I don't know what to do
When we talk I feel like I died twice
Boxers use it's fists
Hockey players break their wrist
You break my heart when you try to play nice
Like a detective without a case
I magnify what you say and
Test the implications
It could be you or it could be through
Before it even begins
I'm a fish swimming without fins
Better luck next time
Maybe we could have a go
With another kind of love
One that carries on
Better luck next time
Guess I've only one regret
That I didn't get to know you better than I did
You tell me that you're mine
Are you just being kind?
Let's not stretch our imagination
When you look in my eyes
Always get them butterflies
My knees get weak with anticipation
And if I might have a slip of the tongue
Will the fun disappear?
Is the binding coming undone?
You keep me waiting within your grasp
But I can't tell what you feel
And I'm too afraid to ask you
Better luck next time
Maybe we could have a go
With another kind of love
One that carries on
Better luck next time
Guess I've only one regret
That I didn't get to know you better than I did
Better luck next time
Maybe we could have a go
With another kind of love
One that carries on
Better luck next time
Guess I've only one regret
That I didn't get to know you better than I did2.Mary
I love the tone that's in your laugh
Gasping for an extra breath
Waiting for the time to pass
I believe in days ahead
Don't spend another night alone
Cross and wishing you were dead.
Mary, you shouldn't let 'em make you mad
You hold the best you can
And Mary, after all the pain is gone
I'm always gonna live to be your man.
I've had it easy now you see
When I'm down you're always there
Standing by to comfort me
Someday we'll go round the world
I'll make the journey so sublime
I know you're not a travelin' girl.
Mary, you shouldn't let 'em make you mad
You hold the best you can
And Mary, after all the pain is gone
I'm always gonna live to be your man.
Cause I'd give everything I have
Forget all the things that bring me joy
If you could have one day
Pure and simple happiness
Until that moment comes
I'll be here where I've always been
I'm gonna be your friend
Until the day I die.
Mary, you shouldn't let 'em make you mad
You hold the best you can
And Mary, after all the pain is gone
I'm always gonna live to be your man.
(hold on....)3.Laura
Laura,
Can't you give me some time?
I got to give myself one more chance.
To be the man that I know I am.
To be the man that I know I am.
Won't you just tell Cincinnati,
I'm gonna need your love.
Don't you give me your love?
Don't you give me your
Sh'mon,
Sh'mon...
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love,
Don't you give me your
Sh'mon,
Sh'mon...
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love?
Don't you give me your
[Instrumental]
Freida, Can't you spare me a dime?
I got to give myself one more chance.
To ring the band that I know I'm in.
To ring the band that I know I'm in.
Won't you just tell Baby Daddy,
I'm gonna need his love.
Why don't he give me he love?
Why don't he give me he
Sh'mon,
Sh'mon...
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love,
Don't you give me your,
Sh'mon,
Sh'mon...
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love.
Don't you give me your...
This'll be the last time,
I ever do your hair.
(Tired of this shit, Swear I'm going quit, Can't seem to make enough dough,
But my cutting's on a roll,)
One face among the many,
I never thought you cared.
(Seen enough stuff, Thought I got rough, Now I know it aint so, I gotta live my own!)
