Science Times



Tomorrow is a big day for We Are Scientists here in NYC. I've been loving these guys lately - they remind me a lot of the post-punk-rock-blah-etc over-hyped yet still highly enjoyable bands from last summer i.e. Futureheads (who, btw, have a show coming up soon), Kaiser Chiefs. The difference is that their composition is less frantic, but without losing any of the edge.

Anyways - they're doing a free concert at 10am at Gigantic Studios (enjoy, all those that are unemployed and freelancers), and also rumored to be playing to a sold out crowd at the Knitting Factory in conjunction with Art Brut. Those tickets are marked up on craigslist...

You can listen to WAS at their myspace page here. I personally dig Nobody Move, Nobody Gets Hurt.

As mentioned yesterday they're also opening for the Arctic Monkeys at Roseland in June, BUT! you can see them solo at Warsaw** and Irving Plaza on June 29 and 30, respectively.

**By the by, Warsaw that week hosts WAS on Thursday and The Walkmen on Friday. You really can't beat a concert venue at which you can also purchase perogies and/or knishs.**
