The promoters of the Scissor Sisters concert, taking place at the Scottish Exhibition + Conference Centre (SECC) this evening have confirmed that the concert will go ahead.
The 'Hurts' to be support the Scissor Sisters
Scissor Sisters return with their third album, Night Work on June 28th through Polydor Records. Night Work is a dynamic album with a big heart and some killer dance moves.
One of the biggest bands in the UK over the past decade, Scissor Sisters have been hard at work in studios in London, Bahamas and their home town of New York, and are ready to follow up on the phenomenal success of 2006’s #1 album Ta-Dah. That album was the third biggest seller of 2006, selling over 1.4 million copies in the UK alone and producing the single, I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’, also a UK #1.
Night Work is a dance record but it’s not all electronic. You can still hear the sound of a band spinning out together in a rehearsal room. “Night Work is really us boiled down to who we are. It feels quintessentially us,” says Jake Shears. The album will be preceded by the lead single Fire With Fire on June 20.
When the album was announced in April, the band also streamed new track Invisible Light on scissorsisters.com, receiving incredible reactions to what will be the closing track of Night Work.
It is the first time Scissor Sisters have worked with another producer; they recruited Stuart Price (The Killers, Madonna) to co-produce. This collaboration sees the group’s relationship with Stuart come full circle after they opened for his band Zoot Woman in 2004, their first UK tour.
Scissor Sisters debuted their new material to a rapturous reception at SXSW in Austin, Texas last month. Within hours, footage from the show appeared on YouTube and bloggers were heralding their return. Playing live will be a big part of 2010 for the band and recent reports of their appearance as main support on Saturday night at Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage have just been confirmed. While touring with Ta-Dah, the group played to over 100,000 in London alone, including shows in Trafalgar Square and the O2.
