Scissor Sisters on the Road Again

Man, 2004 must have been one crazy, funky, androgynously awesome year for the Scissor Sisters. Their self-titled debut album produced four UK hits, with a fifth ("Filthy/Gorgeous"), still on the way; they went on an extensive world tour spanning from August to November, selling out venues like London's Royal Albert Hall; their single "Comfortably Numb" has been been nominated for a Grammy award for Best Dance Recording; and what's more, they got a ripping good review from Pitchfork!

So, to celebrate, the retro-pop outfit is once again span the globe for a three-month winter tour. About midway through, the band will get to shill its first DVD release, due out January 11 in the US. The disc will contain a full live concert from the Brighton Dome last summer, backstage footage, and plenty of other (presumably fabulous) goodies. Dates:
