Scissor Sisters History


The core of the band formed in 2000, when Shears met Babydaddy while visiting a friend in Kentucky. They began to play music together and were generally poorly received. 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 Shears was still working as a stripper at a tiny East Village bar called I.C. Guys.

After becoming a quartet, the band was signed to independent record label A Touch of Class and recorded a single, "Electrobix", which had as its B-side a disco cover of the Pink Floyd classic "Comfortably Numb". Paddy Boom joined the band after the quartet 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 performed drums and percussion live and on later recordings. In September 2003 they were credited as the remixers of one of the versions of Blondie's hit single "Good Boys", which appeared on the 12-inch vinyl single.
