Dat is echt bizar. Twaalf keer geprobeerd, een vriendin heeft het op een andere computer geprobeerd en ik heb ticketservice gebeld. Allemaal met hetzelfde resultaat: uitverkocht...
En ook 1 ticket bestellen lukt me niet...

Wat als je nu 7 keer 1 ticket voor me zou gaan bestellen??

Ik ben trouwens automatisch ingelogd bij Ticketservice. Probeer eens eerst een account aan te maken en DAN te bestellen?

dat laat wel zien dat ik heel erg desperate ben...

(en ik vertrouw een moderator wel, en als hij mij niet vertrouwt (niet heel onbegrijpelijk) dan zijn de tickets evt echt wel te verpatsen via ebay/marktplaats...)

Maar je vraagt toch niet aan iemand die je niet kent of die even 250 euro voorschiet? Ook al raakt hij die kaarten op de zwarte markt nog kwijt, daar gaat het niet om. Ik vind het een erg brutale vraag...

Ik kan nog steeds bestellen overigens. Misschien is het slim als CDP en ik dat even niet meer doen, op deze manier gaan de kaartjes steeds 3 minuten on hold. Blijven proberen dus

They’re Gorgeous, You’re Filthy
In this excerpt from our October cover story with Babydaddy and Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters, the band’s queer ringleaders talk about how it used to be a lark to be a Sister. Then they became famous. Now older and wiser, their brilliant new album tells a tale.

By Tom Donaghy

“My heart feels dead inside / It’s cold and hard and petrified / Lock the doors and close your eyes / We’re going for a ride.”

Not exactly lyrics you’d expect from the bright-as-sunshine Scissor Sisters. But get ready: Their new album, Ta-Dah, is laced with them. You see, after the phenomenal success of their self-titled debut album, the Sisters were spent, beat, wiped—and more than a little cranky.

“I could throw you in a lake / And feed you poisoned birthday cake / I could bury you alive / But you might crawl out with a knife (and kill me).”

Wow. Looks like the queer stylings of this good-time party band have turned a few shades darker. What happened?

A lot: Just over two years ago Scissor Sisters were playing small clubs in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y., and it was all a lark. Since then they’ve conquered dance floors and concert halls everywhere, in the process becoming international pop stars with all the attendant hoopla: collaborating with Kylie, jetting to Elton’s wedding, being showered with praise from Ibiza to Coachella. Their album went to number 1 in the United Kingdom and spawned five top-20 singles. In the last two years they’ve received two Grammy nominations, one for their cover of “Comfortably Numb” and the other for “I Believe in You,” which they wrote for Kylie. Bam, bam, bam—fame, glamour, riches. Pretty heady stuff for a band with three openly gay members—a configuration that has never before occurred in the history of pop music. But then they were expected to do it all over again. And that’s what happened.

“We were worried,” says Babydaddy. “We felt all this pressure to be that ‘fun, happy, disco, electronic dance band’—but we didn’t feel in the mood to make that kind of music.”

“We had to be so careful,” says Jake, his voice tinged with trepidation. “There’s that second album cliché about bands writing about how terrible hotel rooms are—and we’d just spent a year and a half in terrible hotel rooms.”

Although the entire band collaborates on the songs, Jake and Babydaddy experienced the brunt of the burden. “We’re the nucleus of the group,” says Babydaddy. “We hang out in the studio waiting for inspiration, and then the others come around and add to it. But we had to figure out how to write music again after being on the road for so long.”

Everyone stood around staring at each other for months and months, and then Jake’s body revolted. “We’d been touring for so long that I was still getting adrenaline rushes, which felt like panic attacks. Add to that the anxiety of having a really enormous task of writing our second album. It felt like my stomach was falling out.” The combination was toxic: Jake slid into depression, scaring those around him who were used to Jake as their superpeppy serotonin-saturated ringleader. Papers in the United Kingdom, where the band’s success was most pronounced, recently splashed headlines suggesting that Jake had been suicidal during this period.

“I wasn’t suicidal,” he says. “It was just a really tough period.”

To say the least. He and Babydaddy bounced around the world looking for inspiration, hiding away in friends’ houses, driving the people around them a little crazy with their intensity. And right when most of the tracks were completed and the Sisters seemed to be out of the woods, Jake’s best friend, Mary, for whom he wrote the song “Mary,” passed away suddenly after complications from surgery. They’d met on a phone chat line when Jake was 15 and Mary was 21, bonding over a shared fascination with junk culture.

“She looked out for me. I was somehow getting into gay bars, and she would drive an hour to wait in the parking lot until I was ready to go home.”

The two spoke on the phone every day until she died, but Mary never felt confident about their friendship. “She’d struggled with obesity for a long time and didn’t understand why someone she thought was living ‘a fabulous life’ would want to be her friend. I wrote the song to reassure her.” Her death was devastating to Jake as she is the first person he has ever lost.

“Somehow,” says Babydaddy, “we found moments of forgetting and something positive in the struggle. Those moments made this album.” He marvels that early reviews have described the album as a dancey party album because “the process wasn’t a party. A lot of it was finding the light at the end of the tunnel.” The result of all that pressure is a pop diamond.
