Dvd Review: Scissor Sisters Live in Victoria Park, London DVD REVIEW: SCISSOR SISTERS LIVE IN VICTORIA PARK, LONDON Missed that summer feeling? Feeling a little blue? Then this one is for you. by Professor Ball | 23rd January 2013 ★★★★★ The epically flamboyant Scissor Sisters are easily one of the greatest, with their disco rock sounds and alternative sense of style that few can pull off. It was back in 2004 that the Scissor Sisters really made headway in the UK with their debut album, gaining them three BRIT Awards in 2005. But their success didn't stop there. Notable collaborations with Kylie and Elton John have made this outrageously camp band into one with continual renewal and vivacity. The DVD is certainly a must have, a colourful explosion of music, love and sexual desire. Jake is guaranteed to raise temperatures of every guy in the audience in his tight rubber trousers and wildly suggestive moves. From the opening it quickly reignited my lost love for them, turning up the volume to full capacity. Classics such as Take Your Mama and Filthy/Gorgeous gave that beautiful nostalgic feeling as the soundtrack of past summers. These were thrown into the mix of the more recent singles to create one huge fetish fest. Throughout there just didn't seem to be any low points, with superb vocals and musical arrangements, and an energy that can only be described as music on steroids. And as if that wasn't enough, the two bonus tracks bring an additional climax to the whole show. No anti-climax here - it is a pulse throbbing sensation the whole way. So if you have been in deep hibernation this winter amidst the wet weather and snow, this will surely be the remedy. Buy your copy on the 25th Feb, and throw your very own Lovebox party. I just can't get enough! In a word: Lustful 5/5 http://www.thegayuk.com/#/lifestyle/4560090578/DVD-REVIEW-SCISSOR-SISTERS-LIVE-IN-VICTORIA- PARK-LONDON/4698279.

With four of its current five members openly gay men; with the lyrics of their songs regularly addressing transgressive sexuality and glbtq subjects, such as transsexual prostitutes and coming out to one's family; and with the group's music and flamboyant presentation drawing on the rich heritage of gay dance music, especially disco and Scissor Sisters lead glam rock: it is not a stretch to suggest that the band expresses a contemporary gay singers Ana Matronic artistic vision, notwithstanding its consistent rejection of the label "gay band." and Jake Shears.

  • Little Boots About
    LITTLE BOOTS ABOUT Making headlines and chart topping hits since she first emerged in 2008, Little Boots won the respected BBC Sound Of poll and a Brits Critics Choice nomination just a year later. Fusing massive pop hooks onto otherworldly electronic soundscapes it showed a pop star willing to experiment, and her debut album 'Hands' reached the top 5 in the UK album chart and was quickly certified Gold. Her electrifying live show gained a reputation, pushing boundaries with ground breaking instruments and synthesizers such as the Tenori-on and Laser Harp, culminating in memorable live performances at Glastonbury and Coachella to name a few. Freeing herself of the major label machine she went on to found her own label On Repeat Records and independently released various EPs and two more critically acclaimed albums - 2013’s ‘Nocturnes’ and most recently 'Working Girl’, as well as signing and developing up and coming talent. In 2017 she collaborated with the legendary Jean-Michel Jarre and co-wrote the lead single for his latest record, which received a Grammy nomination for Best Electronic Album. As a DJ her ties with the dance culture are deep and long-running. From her first legendary white label release 'Stuck On Repeat’, produced by Joe Goddard, to gracing Mixmag's cover, it's hard to think of another popstar to have garnered anywhere near as much credibility from the dance world's inner-circle. From collaborating with dance royalty Maya Jane Coles, Hercules and Love Affair and Simian Mobile Disco, to her own decorated DJ career, highlights including her live set for Mixmag Lab which has clocked up over 1.4 million views, curating one of Space’s closing We Love party in Ibiza and spinning everywhere from Glastonbury to Valentino’s latest launch at Milan Fashion Week.

The "electroclash" movement was basically a revival of the dance-punk style of the new wave. It was New York dj Lawrence "Larry Tee" who coined the term, and the first Electroclash Festival was held in that city in 2001. However, the movement had its origins on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. One could argue that electroclash was born with Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass (1997), released by Belgian dj Ferenc van der Sluijs under the moniker I-f. At about the same time German house dj Helmut-Josef "DJ Hell" Geier was promoting a scene in Berlin that was basically electroclash. Another forerunner was French dj Caroline "Miss Kittin" Herve', who had recorded the EP Champagne (1998), a collaboration with Michael "The Hacker" Amato that included the pioneering hit 1982. The duo joined the fad that they had pioneered with First Album (2001). Britain was first exposed to electroclash when Liverpool's Ladytron released He Took Her To A Movie (1999), that was basically a cover of Kraftwerk's The Model. Next came Liverpool's Robots In Disguise with the EP Mix Up Words and Sounds (2000).
