Rip Notes
---------
We Are Scientists shocked themselves and impressed many
others with their 2005 debut With Love & Squalor, which
sold over 50,000 copies in the US on the strength of
dancefloor standbys Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt; Its
A Hit; and The Great Escape, as well as nine other
songs that, to all appearances, people also liked.
The band spent 2007 at weight-loss camps, alcoholics
dry-out facilities, and a race car school, yet has also
found time to pen, record, and road-test their sophomore
offering, Brain Thrust Mastery. If W.A.S.s first album
had been far, far better than it was, and of a far more
mature style, and if they had then released a limp,
unenjoyable second record, and if Brain Thrust Mastery
were actually their third album, it would be hailed as
a return to form, as equal to -- in many ways an
improvement upon -- the monumental debut.
We Are Scientists began, in spirit, at Pomona College,
in Claremont, California, in the Fall of 1997, when
Keith Murray and Chris Cain met at a viewing of
Dawsons Creek held in the latters dorm room. Though
at the time they couldnt suspect any of the details
of the coming decade, it was apparent to both of them
that they would spend many long years riding buses
together -- some kind of pro-sports, they assumed. In
1999, freshly graduated and moved to Berkeley, CA, the
two started We Are Scientists with little more between
them than a dream, a couple of cut-rate instruments,
and $1.4 million in lottery winnings.
Nine years later, the band has long-since relocated to
more fashionable New York City, seen many countries
their parents swore to them were myth, accursed myth,
and finally dated girls. In the Fall of 07, long-time
drummer Michael Tapper retired from the band, and We
Are Scientists added a new drummer, plus, in a fit of
accumulation, a fourth man on-stage.
