We Are Scissor Sisters … And So Are You

The Scissor Sisters’ sound lands somewhere between the 1980s synth pop of Depeche Mode and the 1970s balladry of Elton John, with touches of psilocybin-laced Bee Gees falsetto harmony and flamboyant Rocky Horror gender bending. Strutting up the streets of New York, populated by drag queens and filthy gorgeous gigolos, this disco-rock quintet has been tearing up the Big Apple’s live-music circuit since 2001. If you missed their debut album last year, then this just-released DVD is the perfect introduction to the Sisters (who are actually four guys and a gal of no relation). It features a highly theatrical live performance and a 30-minute documentary, both directed by Julien Temple, as well as five videos—including their outrageous Grammy-nominated cover of Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb.”
