CMU Favourite Tiga is set to support Scissor Sisters at two gigs taking place this weekend in New York, opening for the band at their two night residency at the city's Bowery Ballroom. The concerts take place on 22 and 23 Apr, just ahead of the release of Tiga's new single '(Far From) Home' on Monday, taken from rather good album 'Sexor', released earlier this year.
The two acts go back a long way, of course: Tiga was one of the first people to remix Scissor Sisters hit 'Comfortably Numb', and Jake Shears has appeared as guest vocalist on Tiga's cover of 'Hot In Herre' and 2005 single 'You Gonna Want Me'.
