The Scissor Sisters are a 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'. While experiencing only limited mainstream success in their native USA, the band has been hugely successful in Europe and Australia, in particular in the UK, where they have achieved a number of chart hits, as well as their debut album becoming the best-selling album of 2004 in that country. Their single "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" was the fourth best selling single in the UK in 2006 and stayed in the UK top 40 for 27 weeks.
Live shows and performances have included John "JJ" Garden, son of Graeme Garden of The Goodies, on keyboards/guitar.
