Sandringham House

Scissor Sisters are an American pop rock band formed in 2000. The band’s current lineup includes Jake Shears (vocals), Babydaddy (various instruments), and Del Marquis (guitar, bass). Former members include vocalist Ana Matronic and original drummer Paddy Boom. Their music incorporates diverse styles, with a tendency toward pop rock, glam rock, nu-disco, and electroclash. The band originated in the gay nightlife scene of New York, and their name references female same-sex sexual activity of tribadism. They gained prominence with their Grammy-nominated and chart-topping disco cover of 'Comfortably Numb' and their debut album, Scissor Sisters (2004). The album was particularly successful in the UK, reaching number one, becoming the best-selling album of 2004, and later being certified nine-times platinum by the BPI. It earned them three BRIT Awards in 2005. All five singles from the album reached the top 20 of the UK Singles Chart, and 'Filthy/Gorgeous' became their first number one on Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Songs chart, despite limited success in the United States.
