The Hot Press Newsdesk, 23 Aug 2004
There's good news for Scissor Sisters fans, with the New Yorkers scheduling in an in-store appearance at HMV Grafton St., this Wednesday, August 25, at 3pm.
The fabulous fivesome will be on hand for the meet, greet and autograph routine, but if it's a live performance you're after, then the Marlay Park guest slot is where it's at. Tickets for the Dido-driven event are still available from the usual outlets.
Admission to the HMV in-store will be by wristbands only. A maximum of two wristbands per person can be obtained at the store on Wednesday morning from 9am.

Their uncanny ability to blend pop, dance and disco styles with infectious, hummable melodies shows no sign of deserting them. This latest cut taken from their hugely popular Ta Dah album blends Hi NRG rhythms with big power chords and a damn fine tune to boot. Think Blondie’s ‘Call Me’ blended with Duran Duran’s ‘Rio’ and you’re not far off the mark.

Scissor Sisters are back, and this time they’re on a mission to channel Elton John, Paul McCartney and the Bee Gees into the first soft rock masterpiece of the 21st Century. In an exclusive interview, the group’s main songwriter, Babydaddy, gives us the lowdown on their second coming.

With a weight of expectation, it can’t have been easy to come up with a sequel. Wisely, they’ve chosen not to fix what ain’t broke; Ta-Dah sounds exactly as you'd expect, - though on first listen it doesn’t appear to have a single as irresistibly catchy as ‘Comfortably Numb’.

Ironically (or, more likely, deliberately) it takes all of five seconds before the new Scissor Sisters' single awakens in you the urge to get up and dance like a crazy sugar-filled loon. Elton John plays on the track, which is fitting as it is the most Elton John-sounding song the man never wrote himself – lots of ‘70s glam disco flourishes that should guarantee it a place at the top of the charts.

Call it the shitegeist. In times of war and pestilence, art gets decadent, and all we wanna do is dance. Scissor Sisters are a tight little NY combo who apply rock dynamics to disco’s lust for the transcendent dance.
