The New York group Scissor Sisters will be on tour this summer in Europe to promote their new album “Night Work” and share their hilarious camp style with fans. They will play July 21 at Castello di Vigevano, a few kilometres outside of Milan, which will be their last stop in Europe before continuing their tour in Australia and Japan; you should see them now here in Europe! Like anything they do, the concert promises to be an event filled with dramatic, emotional touches, and above all, rhythms that will encourage you to dance until dawn.

The group was born in 2000 in New York, and its history has many references to musical culture and acidic politics of the city. In fact, when members Jake Shears and Babydaddy met Ana Matronic one Halloween, she was dressed as a “a reject from Andy Warhol´s Factory” and Shears was dressed as an “back-alley late term abortion.” The name the group resulting from the slang term “Scissoring” (a sexual practice especially popular among lesbians, which involves, ahem, doing the scissors…) and refers to LGBT culture. The group has many gay fans, but that doesn’t mean you should consider it a “Gay Group,” because music has no sexual orientation. Theirs is music that encourages everyone to dance, mourn and laugh. In the United Kingdom they have managed to be number one on the charts with their first album.

They do count Elton John as a major hero (and have even recorded with him!), and among other influences, they talk about ABBA, Pink Floyd, Duran, Supertramp, Siouxsie and the Banshees and David Bowie. Enjoy the show a stone’s throw from Milan in a romantic castle. After the concert, your feet will certainly hurt from all the moves you’ve been busting. To relax there is nowhere better than the apartments in Milan, reserve yours today!
