About

In an industry where bands routinely burst onto the scene with meteoric intensity only to fade just as quickly, We Are Scientists have quietly crafted one of alternative rock's most remarkable sustained careers. For over two decades, the New York-based outfit -- comprising founding members Keith Murray and Chris Cain -- has consistently delivered sharp, infectious indie rock, maintaining the rare ability to evolve without losing their essential DNA. Now, with their ninth studio album, Qualifying Miles, arriving July 18th, the band continues to defy expectations, this time by looking back even as they push forward.

  • Great fun!

    by JustTheFax on 11/29/23Constellation Room - Santa AnaRating: 5 out of 5

    These guys put on a great show. Great songs with witty banter in between.

  • One for the fans

    by Smokyjoker on 1/31/15U.C. Riverside - RiversideRating: 5 out of 5

    I ❤️ this band. I love the lame jokes, Keith getting drunk and feeding the audience a pack of lies, and melodic surf rock with a punk twist. I think that they should have been on the bill for Coachella this year, seeing as they have a new album out, but their small but devoted following may not propel them to the big stage. In order for that to happen, they're going to have to take themselves a bit more seriously. I will totally come out to see We Are Scientists anytime they're within driving distance. Hopefully at a better venue next time.

  • Great show, would go again if I could

    by whereismytime on 5/30/14Brighton Music Hall - BostonRating: 4 out of 5

    This show was very high energy and the venue at the Brighton Music Hall was perfect for the set that they played. The band members had a very engaging banter that ran throughout the show and they were gracious enough to take fan requests for a few songs in the middle. Band members also were around after the show to sell merch and sign stuff, they were really nice guys.

    Amazing show, will be seeing them on their next tour for sure!

  • Amazing Performance of We Are Scientists

    by heathskinn on 4/28/14The Basement - ColumbusRating: 5 out of 5

    The performance was absolutely incredible. The quips between songs of the band members were completely hilarious. The venue was incredibly intimate in the Basement and really fun. I would definitely recommend to others. I'm going to try to go see them again while they're still in the States.

  • My favorite band!

    by tallgirlnyc on 4/21/14Bowery Ballroom - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Pure awesomeness! I've seen this band multiple times in extremely different venues over the past 7 + years and they never disappoint. See this band live!!

  • W.A.S.- best way to end/start the year

    by Kimmisan on 1/4/11Mercury Lounge - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Two words: Amazing show! Why? They had an awesome setlist. They strategically combined their 3 albums into one sweaty dancing frenzy. When you're not dancing, you are being thoroughly entertained by their humorous banter and audience interaction between songs. I loved it. Can't wait to see them again.

  • cool gig great for nye

    by heavenlynarayan on 1/4/11Mercury Lounge - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    we were really looking forward to this gig as we've seen them a few times before and their music is really good, to top ot if they're such funny guys. they didn't dissappoint, and it was great to see them in a smaller venue. we even ended up chatting to them at the end of the gig and i must say they're not just funny but they're also very nice and down to earth...good fun, couldn't have asked for a better nye party.

    We Are Scientists put on an excellent show. From their scientific banter to their crowd pleasing set list, I would happily go to see them again. However, the opening acts were not very good. I do not know if this was a WAS choice or a venue choice, but I was not impressed.

  • by Anonymous on 1/2/11Mercury Lounge - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    This was the best show I saw in 2010, and I'm so glad that it was also the first show of 2011. The band put on an awesome performance. The crowd was small and super into the music, and the band had a great time. I can't wait to see We Are Scientists play again. I'm hooked.
