The Gayest Night Known to Man: Scissor Sisters at Bowery Ballroom
Any Scissors Sisters show is Homo Central, but how MANY Scissors Sisters shows actually have MOTHERF*CKING CHER at them (below)? Thank god Liza wasn’t also at the Bowery Ballroom tonight, otherwise there may have been a gay sensory overload!
The show was nothing short of stellar–I’d never seen the Scissor Sisters live before, and they certainly did not disappoint. Fun, sassy, and totally campy, the gays and fag hags (like myself) danced their little boot-ays off like it was the last night of the Roxy.
Since it was their first performance in about 9 months, they played both old and new songs, and the diva-rific Ana Matronic told us she called Madonna a “‘tard…a leotard” in her dreams, heralded Earth Day, and demanded the revival of dropping acid.
After the show ended the lights did not come up, dance music kept playing and the main floor of the Bowery Ballroom morphed into a mini Kurfew with boys twirling around to the electronic beats. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them are STILL dancing right now…
SET LIST: Take Your Mama/ I Can’t Decide/ Tits on the Radio/ She’s My Man/ Laura/ Paul McCartney/ Everybody Wants the Same Thing/ Kiss You Off/ Mary/ The Other Side/ I Don’t Feel Like Dancing/ Comfortably Numb/ Music Is the Victim/ Land of a Thousand Words. ENCORE: Filthy Gorgeous
More over at the Music Slut.
UPDATE: Report from Bao on Sunday’s show, instead of Cher, Karl Lagerfeld and KYLIE FREAKING MINOGUE were at the show!!!!

Oh crap! It’s Cher, of course!

I’ve always wanted to see them live. Thanks for the pics!
Color me shocked whenever I found out that Ana is transgendered. I would have never guessed in a million years.
Ana isn’t transgendered :S
I was at the show too, and was by the looks of it rifght next to you snapping away too.
Elton John revival
you spend more time gawking at the VIP and the crowd than watching the band.
um, actually, i didn’t even know Cher was there until after the Scissor Sisters were done and i was on my way to go downstairs and get my coat. thanks.
stop deleting posts Laura/George Bush/ Rummy/Cheney style…
the after show dance party was a bonus. we might still be dancing but Tiga only continued to DJ for an hour.

pfff and we (sunday night) got kylie minogue and karl lagerfeld.
cher should of came again.
at first i didn’t think it was Cher. she looked way to…..human, somehow.
awesome show.
i love that they came right out with “Take Your Mama Out.” It was a knockout punch, from which none of us recovered
the show rocked
how amazing is Cher?i spent all night looking at her rather than the scissors:)
Your photos are amazing! What settings did you have your camera on?
thanks for the pics – i wish i could have been there.
what were the new tracks like? any monsters in there?
is ana REALLY transgenderd?
Eeek, I hope I wasn’t one of the “twirling boys” who stuck around after SS left the stage. I was there, and I was dancing, but I hope I don’t come across as a Kurfew boy. LOL…
Great pics!!
[...] As you may remember, I flipped out when I got a chance to go to the RENT movie premiere last year. Yup, I’m officially having the gayest week ever. [...]
Cher was there? So the arena had handicap access?
well, she might be old-but shes fucking awesome and hot….too bad there are only few women like cher…..
Ana is NOT transgendered! She was born a woman and appears to be very much still a woman.
flyboy wise the h up..
you must one of those homophobes, if you like cher then you are considered gay!!
little boy sooo jealous that he is broke and Cher is laughing right to the bank..
oh yea, can’t forget about whacko Jacko there..
pervert of the century

Hello World!
So much about a sex change for Ana – what (?) -at London’s concert recently she looked very obviously pregnant.
Is this -or will it be -a ‘Snippet’?
