Scissor Sisters and The Hidden Cameras

It may not be immediately apparent, but the Scissor Sisters can safely be called one of the few genuinely subversive pop stars in recent years. Think about it, how many other bands have won three BRIT Awards and one Ivor Novello, sold two million copies of their debut album in the UK alone, have completed several sold out arena tours and have headlined major festivals in the same country, all the while being named after a lesbian sex act? The list, dear reader, is very short. The best way of directly experiencing just how expertly they straddle the line between mainstream pop sensations and edgy, underground club fiends, I hear you ask? You need only see them live. Both Jake Shears and Ana Matronic were born to front a band and together, they’re unstoppable. Shears dances up a storm with his falsetto ringing out perfectly, losing more and more clothing as the gig goes on, while Ana takes a more commanding role, toasting the audience mid song while providing lead and backing vocals for every pulsating disco classic. Every aspect of the band is magnified in the live arena, transforming every venue they play from theatre to arena to festival into a club night at the end of the world, that no-one’s going to be quite the same after, but no-one would have it any other way. For the kind of fun that you can’t wash out afterwards, nobody does it quite as well as the Scissor Sisters.

The Hidden Cameras a Canadian Indie pop 'band' fronted by singer Joel Gibb were truly amazing in all aspects, I can't find a bad word in which I would ever dare to say about them and I'm sure the rest of the audience feel the same way and if they don't well then this was not the show for them!

Over the course of the show the band on stage had less and less clothes on, not something I'm a fan of but the women, the women's jaws were open, I had to look at my girl twice and make sure her eyes were only on me but it was all in good fun and was quite amusing. The band were jumping up and down while playing their instruments, I am not sure if this were rehearsed before hand or was a spur of the moment thing but I think it's incredibly incredible! and was a sign of how talented they truly were.

Performing fan favourite songs from their six albums and two EP's showed that they were a talented set of individuals. Some of their greatest songs in my opinion include 'Year of the Spawn','Steal all you can motherfucker' and 'walk on'

Their performances are swarmed by their loyal fans as all performances should be, and this dedication to know all the lyrics and scream them back at The Hidden Cameras is perhaps one of the finer things in life that all should get to experience.
