Having racked up a UK top 15 hit with first single “After Hours” and having sent the album that birthed it, Brain Thrust Mastery, to #11 on the album charts (a position the band like to refer to as “the pole position” owing to “the shape of the numbers”), We Are Scientists were ready to hang up their hats, telling anyone in earshot that they were now “officially bigger than Madonna in terms of height,” and that their only professional plans were to “get laid.”
But after several grueling lectures from management and weeks of ‘torture light’ administered by the heads of Astralwerks, the affable pop duo agreed to tour the States this summer.
