	Harmonium » Archive » Interview: Jake Shears and Babydaddy of Scissor Sisters
		Babydaddy: Well I have to say that I’ve heard everything from “why did we have to wait so long?” to “how did you get the album out so fast?” I mean, two years is pretty common, I guess it’s just that the anticipation that makes it seem so long.
		Babydaddy: The process was very similar, and the inspiration was really influenced by being on the road and playing these live shows as a “proper” rock and roll band.
		Babydaddy: We didn’t really consider radio when creating the album, but we often do think of the songs in terms of pop records, with verses and choruses and especially with respect to the length of the songs.

	Interview - Scissor Sisters: Silent Uproar
		After a fun game of “finding cell signal,” Scissor Sisters' bassist Babydaddy and I got down to the serious business of discussing the disco-funky-fabulous collective's amazing ride to the edge of fame on the eve of their recent show in Boston, that ironically coincided with the Democratic National Convention.
		Babydaddy: Well, what happened was we were playing around New York for sort of the first year, and our manager found one of our shows in Brooklyn, and he had worked a lot on the UK side of things and had a lot of connections over there.
		Babydaddy: All the American public needs to know is that we wrote an album that we are proud of, and we bust our asses to put on a great live show.

		Babydaddy affirms, "I think we always had these higher hopes to grow out of that and become proper performers and become a proper rock band."
		Babydaddy concedes that they "butt heads every once in a while," but that's where the discord ends.
		Scissor Sisters are yet to leave any impact in conservative America, with Walmart banning their first LP for risque language, and on their website they cite the UK as their "spiritual home".

	The Seattle Times: Arts & Entertainment: Scissor Sisters on the cutting edge of nouveau glam
		Babydaddy admits the band has enjoyed a relatively painless rise to fame from its humble beginnings playing shows in New York's gritty Lower East Side and at music festivals in Britain.
		Babydaddy said he acquired the nickname from older gay friends who felt that he still had a baby face despite his manly-man beard.
		But the secret to understanding this eccentric group is to remember that behind the campiness and addictive melodies, there's serious musicianship and heartfelt lyricism.

	[No title]
		Although Shears, with his party-boy persona, sweet Elton John-like vocals and unstoppable energy, is the figurehead for these fixtures of the New York gay club scene, it was only too clear that Babydaddy is the man pulling the strings from under his slanted white fedora.
		I can only guess it was Babydaddy’s idea to merge Pink Floyd’s "Comfortably Numb," with its progressive rock excess, with bubbly "Staying Alive" energy, with its own "Saturday Night Fever" excess, into a perfect goulash of late ‘70s popular music.
		The Sisters tipped their glittery hats to their fellow pop revisionists, performing a meticulously dramatic version of "Take Me Out." Shears and Matronic pranced like they were Joel Grey and Liza Minelli in "Cabaret," delivering the hit song with a theatricality that only they could find in a post-punk single.

		After moving to New York City, the duo met Ana Matronic at a cabaret on Halloween, when she was dressed as an Andy Warhol factory reject, and Shears was dressed as a "late-term, back-alley abortion".
		The lyrics of their songs, largely written by Shears and Babydaddy, are known for their mixture of wit and tragedy.

		He says, "Hey, it's Babydaddy." Babydaddy is the bearded-and-boa'd character Hoffman plays as a Scissor Sister; his four bandmates have alter egos, too: Jason Sellards is beleathered front man Jake Shears, Ana Lynch is flame-haired co-vocalist Ana Matronic, Derek Gruen is Angus Young-suited guitarist Del Marquis and Patrick Seacor is scarf-swathed drummer Paddy Boom.
		Since the city was in the grips of an electroclash fever, making overnight art-world stars out of any two idiots with a broomstick and a steady supply of eye shadow, the pair found people open to bands performing in unconventional ways.
		With Scissor Sisters now on an American major label, the band's current job is to challenge listeners at home during a moment that couldn't be less hostile toward their wide-open vision of pop acceptance.

	A Cut Above - Features - Music Tech Magazine
		Babydaddy is one of the founding members of Scissor Sisters — a band that has, in just one album, redefined the way in which hit records can be produced and marketed.
		Having constructed the majority of their multi-million-selling masterpiece in Babydaddy’s small New York apartment, this is a band that defies any form of convention beyond a simple love of pop music.
		And, with production and writing credits for Kylie’s I Believe in You, as well as Bono pronouncing them “the best pop band in the world”, there’s clearly a lot to be said for their way of working.

	Scissor Scissors still have disco cutting edge
		An eagerly anticipated album, however, means lots of work for a band - lots of interviews, lots of shows, lots of reassurance that they haven't fallen foul of 'difficult second album' syndrome.
		Both Ana and Babydaddy nod when asked if it was difficult album to make.
		Happy though he is with the album, Babydaddy's not listened to it since the band finished it.

		On the eve of their gig playing for 15,000 in London’s Trafalgar Square, we made time with the band’s musical guru, Babydaddy, who, along with frontman Jake Shears, Ana Matronic, Paddy Boom and Del Marquis, was wrapping up a 12-hour gig taking over BBC’s Radio 1.
		Babydaddy, whose real name is Scott Hoffman, didn’t feel like dancing, but had plenty to dish about Elton John (who shares writing credits on two of the new songs and guests on piano) and the plight of New Orleans.

		In addition, a few days after Babydaddy's SOS interview, the Scissor Sisters took the Bestival festival at the Isle of Wight by storm, and the first single from their second album, 'I Don't Feel Like Dancin', stormed to number one.
		Babydaddy is clearly in his element when talking about writing and recording the band's music.
		Babydaddy, aka Scott Hoffman, born September 1, 1976 in Kentucky, is expressing his pride in the fact that Scissor Sisters, the band's first album, was recorded and mixed almost entirely at his studio flat in Manhattan, on a collection of Logic/G5-based gear that's unlikely to impress the average SOS reader.

		Aside from two recordings for CD:UK and a "rotten" DJ set at the Barfly in Camden, there was a sold-out gig followed by a comfortably "dumb" performance at GAY afterwards, where the band were kitted out as characters from the Wizard Of Oz.
		Matronic appears mildly hungover, Boom sits hunched by the door, while Babydaddy populates the farthest corner with an intense stare, adjusting only to give his head a scratch and face a wipe.
		Franz Ferdinand, Outkast, The Rapture and NER*D are mooted by Matronic and Boom.

		Of course, BabyDaddy got out of going with us by claiming that he had to go and get all of the stuff that he didn’t get on the non-Publix run the night before, along with laundry before my parents showed up.
		After that, my stepfather and I went to see 300 at the late show, which completely rocked, though it was kinda wierd seeing the guy who played Azazeal on Hex stripped down to his well-sculpted leather skivvies.
		Actually, I really should be nice to BabyDaddy, because after the Great Dryer Debacle, I complained that I spent the money that I had put aside to purchase myself an iPod, which I now have, thanks to him.

		The resulting contract launched their year-long effort to record their first album, which was produced in Babydaddy's home studio - affectionately called 5D Studios - in Brooklyn.
		As soon as the album was finished the band took their theatrical show around Europe, where the undeniably catchy disco/electroclash/glam-rock tunes caught on like a fever, inciting mobs of European housewives to sassy shimmy-shimmies.
		The Sisters' centerpiece keyboard is the Access Virus Indigo, in the studio and on the road, and its sound is as important as the lead guitar in the Scissor Sisters' music - an emerging trend in pop music.
