Scissor Sisters 中译「剪刀女郎乐团」"剪刀姐妹"，名子与实际大相径庭，成员大部分是男的。这个乐队来自纽约。Scissor Sisters 彻底复兴60年代摇滚精神，以迷幻摇滚，放克摇滚与迪斯科元素，配上假声唱法，玩弄性别打扮(这个比较恶)风靡英国。他们所有的歌曲几乎都是中快节奏，可以让人跟随起舞。The Scissor Sisters (剪刀姐妹乐队) 成立于2001年，5名热爱音乐的年轻人对60年代的摇滚乐和70年代的DISCO音乐情有独钟，因此他们创作的歌曲多为较为传统的中快节奏、舞曲风格加上假声唱法，充满浓浓的怀旧情结，让听歌的人随时想翩翩起舞。直到2004年，他们才被英国的唱片公司选中发行首张唱片《The Scissor Sisters》，英国本土销量达到了230万张.A genre- and gender-defying mix of rock, pop, and dance inspired by burlesque, drag queens, and glam rock, New York's Scissor Sisters made a splash in late 2003/early 2004 with their neon-bright reimagining of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb," the B-side to the band's first single, "Electrobix." The song made quite a name for the band, which features singers Jake Shears and Ana Matronic, keyboardist/bassist Babydaddy, guitarists Del Marquis and Derek G, and drummer Paddy Boom: along with becoming the calling card that got the band signed to Polydor in the U.K., "Comfortably Numb" was heralded "Single of the Month" by Dazed and Confused and Jockey Slut magazines, named an "Essential New Tune" by Pete Tong on Britain's Radio 1, and also received considerable play by DJs including Felix da Housecat and Tiga. Scissor Sisters (whose name is slang for a lesbian sex act) came from the cutting edge of New York's nightlife and gay culture, incorporating elements of burlesque and drag shows, as well as performance art, into their theatrical live shows. This was the perfect setting for their music, which gleaned the best of Elton John, the Bee Gees, the B-52's, David Bowie, and many other artists with a campy sense of humor and impeccable style. After proving themselves as one of the city's most dynamic live acts, Scissor Sisters won over British and European audiences on a tour early in 2004 that coincided with the release of their self-titled debut album. That March, they returned stateside for a South by Southwest gig with Junior Senior and the B-52's before returning to the U.K. to tour with Duran Duran in support of the "Take Your Mama Out" single. The band continued to have a busy spring and summer, launching their first U.S. tour in May — coinciding with the stateside release of Scissor Sisters — and returning to Europe in June and July. These dates included two gigs supporting Scissor Sisters' spiritual and musical godfather, Elton John, as well as appearances at festivals such as Glastonbury, T in the Park, Roskilde, and the Montreux Jazz Festival. Late that year, Scissor Sisters were nominated for a Grammy for Best Dance Record for "Comfortably Numb." The band kept busy with touring and producing remixes during 2005, and returned with new material in fall 2006, when the single "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" hit number one in England. The band's subsequent album, Ta-Dah, also topped the charts in Great Britain.
