Amoeba's Top 25: 9/26 - 10/3: Scissor Sisters, TV, Yo La
Babydaddy, Jake Shears, Ana Matronic and the rest of the Abba-esque Brit dance group Scissor Sisters are finding just as much success here in the states as they did early last month in the UK where they debuted at #1. The follow-up to 2004's eponymous freshman offerring did extremely well here in LA last week due to several factors: they headlined a sold-out show at the Shrine last Thursday, they appeared on Indie on Friday, and they're flamers with a hot new record. Hope you're taking notes Mr. Dylan.
