We Are Scientists, The Duchess, York 28.07.12

York's best live venue hosted California's indie boys We Are Scientists for the second time in its history.  The three album spanning set allowed for Keith (guitar/vocals) and Chris' (bass/vocals) time for their usual geeky banter - The York Railway Museum has a plethora of trains apparently.


WAS have found their crowd and they seem pretty pleased with it.  All the 'hits' were played tonight; "Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt", "After Hours", "Scene is Dead" to name but a few.  They also performed three new tracks which names were not conveyed.


It seems strange to think WAS have been on the scene for over ten years and the consistency of the releases is staggering.  But on this night in York they were a pleasure to watch as they proved they're in it for the long game and seem to be getting everything they need from their live performances.


This was also the night of the opening ceremony for the Olympics in London which after returning was spectacular but I was delighted to be in York watching Keith, Chris and Andy absolving music.
