Scissor Sisters Olympia, Dublin

When Scissor Sisters released their angsty, confused 2010 album Night Work, there was a distinct sense of a band stumbling to the end of its lifespan.

The New York quintet have evidently decided the smartest course is to recapture some of their early zing. Certainly, they have rebounded impressively with the recent Magic Hour album, an LP that channels the Lower East side gay scene edginess of their 2004 debut.

In a baying, up-for-a-great-time Olympia, Scissor Sisters throw themselves into the performance with relish. Wearing an eye-grabbingly odd jacket, Jake Shears is a rubber-limbed attention magnet, his singing a gleefully over-wrought mix of The Bee Gees and Donna Summer.
