Singer Ana Matronic admitted, "I never thought the Scissor Sisters would make it outside of New York City, let alone outside of America. I thought we were just too weird and too gay for public consumption."

Matronic also said that the death of her father from an AIDS-related illness encouraged her to discover the gay scene in New York and San Fransisco.

She admitted, "It was a subconscious thing. I didn't say 'My dad just died and he was gay so I'm going to immerse myself in gay culture to understand him'. It was a lot more organic than that."

The Scissor Sisters are set to release their latest single, 'Any Which Way', on September 20.
