We Are Scientists @ Austin Music Hall, Austin

On October 25, 2008, (W.A.S.) opened with for . The band is made up of two key players, on guitar and lead vocals and on bass guitar and backing vocals.

Their hour long set was filled with non-stop music that rocked the crowd in their wild science experiment. After hearing their recorded music and now hearing their live music, their live performance out weighs their recorded. W.A.S. put on an outstanding, enthusiastic, demanding, and fantastic performance with songs like “After Hours” (Brain Trust Mastery) and “Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt”(With Love and Squalor).

Not only did W.A.S make an impression on the people of Austin, but we happened to make an impression on them. Apparently, in the little time that they had spent in Austin before the show (their van broke down and barely got to the show in time), the people made a lasting impression of extreme kindness to the Austin foreigners. This was their only criticism that they had with our beloved city, “You all are too kind.” Having played their hearts out, on their final song they came together with their guitars to build a bonfire of music. W.A.S was in igniting flame for to burn down the house.

This dynamic trio is just half way though their tour. If they make their way to your city, it is recommended by all of Austin that you go see them.

    I’m so jealous! I love WAS. I hope I can catch them around the NYC area. Brain Thrust Mastery is decent overall, but I particularly love “After Hours,” “Lethal Enforcer,” and “That’s What Counts” the best. I bet they sound great live! Nice review.
