Never heard of them. I remember a forum a few weeks back debating who should open up for U2 on the next tour. I bet no one guessed this group.

 

[luvsU2]

Yeah this group is still growing on me. I haven't decided if I truly like them yet.

 

[edgeboy]

they seem stupid too me.

 

[Numbology]

not stupid.

way too bad,that's the proper term

 

[Justified]

scissor sisters who?

 

[Axver]

After hearing about them, I read a recent article in Time magazine featuring them, and well ... it didn't give me a good impression. I'll be really disappointed if they open for U2.

 

[bonojr62]

Yeah talk about it.

 

[MacMango]

The Hives and/or Snow Patrol seem more appropriate.

 

[eruditz]

Hmm, yes, Popbitch reported the same thing a week or two ago. I like that one song, "Take Your Mama", but I haven't heard anything else by them.

 

[Kate1]

YEY i like the sissor sisters! They are kinda cool!

 

[eruditz]

Actually, I got to listen to their album, and you know what? I like them.

(The critics seem to like them too.)

I wouldn't mind them opening for U2, they seem fun.

 

[celia]

at first a while back I thought what on earth is this music but now I adore them!!! I think their music is fab I'd be well happy if they support!

 

[smooshcat]

I actually love this group, they are "silly" but their album is fantastic, and they are excellent live.

I don't know how they would sit with a lot of U2 fans though.
