Scissor Sisters Reveal New Album Details

Maybe they don't feel like cutting a rug, but-- Ta-Dah!-- the Scissor Sisters felt like cutting a new album. The glitter-tastic band's sophomore effort, titled, yes, Ta-Dah, arrives in North America on September 26 (September 18 in the UK), on the heels of the leadoff single "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'", which appears internationally on September 4. The song is a collaboration between the band and one of their more obvious influences, Elton John.

Although the band has yet to reveal a complete tracklist, Ta-Dah will probably feature some of the new material that the Sisters have been performing live on stage all the way since Live 8 last year. According to Billboard.com, "Hairbaby", "Monkey Baby", "Paul McCartney", "She's My Man", and "Everybody Wants the Same Thing," are all likely candidates for the final track list. The band is also rumored to have collaborated with another one of their idols, Roxy Music singer Bryan Ferry. So much fabulousness...I think I'm going to explode!

More information about Ta-Dah will appear on the band's new website, which arrives on the interweb June 30.

This summer, the Scissors Sisters will take their glam-pop around the globe, headlining festivals (and one Bestival) in amusement parks, in open air cinemas, even under the big top at Sydney, Australia's Luna Park. It'll be a leather-pants-wearing, disco-ball-whirling circus. As opposed to the other kind.
