Scissor Sisters in New York - The Scene

Emerging from the New York gay scene with an audacious cover of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb," Scissor Sisters have stormed the UK charts with their mix of high campery, bitchy humor and disco.

The Scene: Was New York important in bringing the group together?

Ana Matronic: This is one of the most highly romanticized cities in the world -- and worthy of it. I'm not sure Scissor Sisters could have happened if it wasn't for New York.

"It's a vortex of good times and free will."
