We Are Scientists

I’m pretty sure that the last time I wrote about there were three of them. Now there only appear to be two, making I Are Scientist not all that far away.

One of the more unfortunate things about the Reading Festival was that I was too busy ducking crowd surfers through the Los Campesinos! set to get to see We Are Scientists. Which is a shame, as even though I’m pretty indifferent to a lot of their songs, but they seem like the kind of band that would put on one hell of a live show.

This version of Inaction comes from some 2004 single, but I couldn’t tell you how it differs from the album version in any meaningful way. No matter though, it’s still one of their superior songs, a frantic three minute dash through binge drinking, sleeping on people’s floors and generally being out of control. Which strikes me as exactly the opposite of what these guys are actually like.
