We Are Scientists live in Bristol (Jessica Bartolini / Live4ever)
Reading, Cardiff, Clitheroe, Liverpool, York, Newcastle, Cambridge, Southend, Portsmouth, Bournemouth and Oxford will be visited by We Are Scientists during an October UK tour.
Keith Murray and Chris Cain are touring their latest album Megaplex which, as they told NME, was their chance to engage in a bit of studio spring-cleaning. “At this point in our career, we’ve written so many songs,” Murray said. “The pool for this record alone was something like 90 songs deep — that we know exactly what we want out of a We Are Scientists record.”
“We want it to be taut, to bang hard, to have a big hook every four seconds or so. We don’t have to be precious about which songs make it onto a record; we can listen to the ones that didn’t make it at home, on our own time. Megaplex is just the ten most delicious songs that we have — a stacked-up compound of entertainment.”
