SCISSOR SISTERS TORONTO SOUND ACADEMY CONCERT REVIEW (PICS AND VIDEO)

Ana Matronic and Jake Shears

If you've never been to a Scissor Sisters show, you've never been entertained truly. The four-member Performance Art Rock Band brought the house down tonight at Sound Academy, tucked away off the Lakeshore.  Hitting the stage at 10:15 PM after a surprise, yet  uninspired and pitchy opening performance by Casey Spooner, one half of Electropop duo Fischerspooner, Scissor Sisters delivered pure unadulterated sizzle.

Jake Shears

Lead singer Jake Shears arrived on-stage in a tight body suit, torso exposed, while vocalist and personality of the group Ana Matronic, looked sleak in heels and a form-fitting dress, undoubtedly taking some fashion cues from Kylie Minogue, a good friend of the band.

The audience was on its feet dancing right from the get-go with opener Night Work, the title track off their third studio effort about the life of a Hustler, perpetuating the group's obsession with the perverse. A delivery of their latest single Any Which Way, a laughable yet honest tribute to the Disco era, was delicious with simplistically stylish almost Aerobics-like choreography which had Shears and Matronic joining hands, tugging and pulling one another.
