Scissor Sisters And Franz Ferdinand Do Bowie

You know my Suffragette City, Is outta sight…

The Scissor Sisters brought the 2005 V Festival to an exciting climax in Chelmsford on Sunday by teaming up with Franz Ferdinand for a “radically reworked” rendition of the David Bowie classic Suffragette City.

The Sisters were joined onstage by Franz Ferdinand, with front man Alex Kapranos and drummer Paul Thompson, helping out on vocals with Jake and Ana (pictured above), while Nick McCarthy played bass and Bob Hardy joined Del Marquis on guitars.

The onstage lunacy was augmented by a collection of giant Muppet?style creations dancing behind the performers…much to the crowds very obvious delight.

Franz front man Alex Kapranos told NME.com: ?I met up with Jake (Shears) a while ago in New York and we went for a drink one day. We were talking about how much we were looking forward to V and I said: ‘Hey, we should get onstage and do a song together, it?ll be a bit of a laugh’.

?We sent each other emails back and forward about what we should do. We?re both huge Bowie fans, so it seemed like an obvious choice. And ?Suffragette City? has such a to-and-fro vocal style.?

According to The Daily Record’s The Razz, the supergroup performed an impromptu version of the song backstage earlier in the day.
