Scissor Sisters are an American band who formed in 2001, whose style draws from disco, glam-rock/pop and the gay-club scene of New York City. The group were named after a sex position between two women (tribadism), and their initial full name was 'Dead Lesbian and the Fibrillating Scissor Sisters'.

The core of the band formed in 2000 when Shears and Babydaddy met while attending college in Kentucky, and began to play music together. After moving to New York City, the duo met Ana Matronic at a cabaret on Halloween, when she was dressed as an Andy Warhol factory reject, and Shears was dressed as a "late-term, back-alley abortion". The group soon began playing gigs, and they met Del Marquis while Jake Shears was still working as a stripper at a club called IC-Guyz. After becoming a quartet, the band was signed to independent record label "A Touch of Class" [1], and recorded a single, "Electrobix", which had as its B-side a disco/glam cover of the Pink Floyd classic, "Comfortably Numb". [2] Paddy Boom joined the band after they placed a classified ad looking for a drummer and, though a drum machine was used for the majority of the first album (much of it was completed before he joined), he now performs drums/percussion, live and recording-wise.

No, they're from America.
But they have had huge success in Britain, because we're not afraid to buy records by openly gay people, unlike the States.
Britain is a bit more tolerant and flamboyant about that sort of thing (George Michael, Elton John, Will Young etc.)

Theyre from New York but are signed by a British record label as no one would sign them over in america. Its why theyre first album is called UK.

They're more or less New Yorkers, although I wouldn't say they were all born there. Not all of them are gay, though even the straight ones seem to have acquired something of a gay sensibility. Anyway, gay or straight, what's the difference - great pop music is what they do. But they had to come over here to England to find success...

From the USA. They seem to be doing better in the UK though.
