FEEL LIKE DANCING? SCISSOR SISTERS PEFORMS LIVE AT SANDOWN PARK RACECOURSE
07/03/2011
Get ready for a night of non stop dancing as Sandown Park Racecourse announces its first music act of the summer series as the humorous, controversial and outright transgressive Scissor Sisters. Entertainers at heart, the much loved band will be performing live on stage after racing on Wednesday 20th July.
The Scissor Sisters have filled venues from New York’s Bowery Ballroom to London’s O2 Arena and there is really nothing the band won’t do to make you dance and get lost in the beat. They’ve infamously collaborated with Jim Henson’s Muppets for their opening performance at the Brit Awards in 2005, and in 2010, stole the show at Glastonbury when they performed a duet (and grinded) with Kylie Minogue for their single “Any Which Way”. These particular collaborations have been received positively by both critics and other notable figures. Bono, lead vocalist of rock band U2, described Scissor Sisters as "the best pop group in the world" in 2004.
After giving themselves a much deserved break, the band started working on new tracks in June 2009, which made it onto their replacement third album Night Work. The album was described as "supersexual and sleazy" with its first single, "Fire with Fire" as "a really epic song that makes you feel really good". With the album, the band have toured worldwide on The Night Work Tour. As an opening act, they will join Lady Gaga on her third leg of The Monster Ball Tour from February this year.
Ana Matronic from Scissor Sisters said, “Our music and shows are as much for hormonal teenagers and housewives with a dancing bug as it is for the downtown party scene. We cant wait to see you all at Sandown Park Racecourse for a night of dancing and partying!”.
