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!!!!
Who the hell is that woman dressed like a hootchie mama on crack?
Oh crap! It’s Cher, of course!
Changing Trax
Music is a force in our lives. Everyone has a song that has touched them in some way. This is a place to share those songs and tell the stories that make them so important to us.
Big Bang Theory: Art Brut isn’t just a rock band, it’s a franchise
"Do you know the band We Are Scientists? They’re Art Brut 47. They told me one day they’re going to be booked as We Are Scientists and just play Art Brut songs as Art Brut 47 as a surprise for the crowd. And it probably will be a surprise!"
Ok so I had a total brain lapse today and I thought Art Brut was playing Knitting Factory this week. You can imagine the perplexed response I got when I emailed their PR peeps. “Laura,” the email started, “I love you but I have no idea what you are talking about Art Brut are not in town xoox.”
Yup, it’s official: I do not have any concept of time or space.
Anyway, what you–observant and time-conscious reader–may have already noticed is that the Art Brut show has “Special Guests Art Brut 47” playing the show as well. It doesn’t take a genius to type in “art brut 47″ into Google and find this article that flat out says that We Are Scientists have co-opted that name as their Art Brut cover band alias.
It also doesn’t take a genius to realize that that was exactly what Jerry was trying to say in the email I totally didn’t read. Sorry Jerry.
While it’s very exciting that WAS will most likely playing the gig, I’m still kinda hoping its another Fall Out Boy appearance.
Oh, speaking of FOB, K.F. sent me the link to this NME article that states that Fall Out Boy are so over making up beef with label-mate The Killers and want to take them out to dinner at Nobu or something. Somewhere on the Lower East Side, Ultragrrrl just busted a nut. I kid, I kid.

Deconstructing SOCA’s Thundercats Logo
The Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) has chosen a fierce big cat bearing its fangs and leaping over a stylised silver globe, with a crown capping it all. It’s bold but bears a striking resemblance to the logo of the 1980s children’s cartoon series Th
The Hard Edge of a Fluff Machine
Beneath a gossamer skin of celebrity sightings and innuendo, Page Six of The New York Post is a force in New York City business.
A.A. was very nice and sent along this link to me of an article that was published in Folha de Sao Paulo, which apparently is the largest circulation newspaper in Brazil.
What I find peculiar about this article is that I see my photo of The Muldoons being republished with no credit, no payment, nor any notification. If you know Portuguese and want to translate a letter to the editor for me, let’s make it happen.
