Trans-Atlantic indie rockers We Are Scientists have spoken about the ingredients for the perfect party.
We Are Scientists like to party – hard. The band have made a name for themselves through fist-punching indie rock, combining huge choruses with a sense of humour which has stood them in good stead.
Losing a member, We Are Scientists seemed to lose their way. Recruiting former Razorlight drummer Andy Burrows, the band are preparing to release their rejuvenated new album ‘Barbara’.
A collection of tracks sure to get any party started, We Are Scientists recently blogged about the recipe for the perfect party. Typically acerbic, the group advised some wanton destruction to get people talking.
“You’re walking down a dark street lined with houses” the band wrote for The Guardian. “You’re looking for a serious party someone told you about – the kind of sick affair where at one point somebody blows a whistle, and shirtless waiters start dumping buckets of riled-up cobra snakes out onto the floor and tables, and the cobras have had their venom glands filled with LSD.”
“You’re looking for this party, and you see a lighted window, but you can’t see very well what’s inside. Throw a rock through the window. Partiers will embrace your Dionysian gesture and welcome you into the fold. Within moments of the bay window sluicing down into the yard, a grippe of partiers will spill from the front door in search of the interesting person who took such radical action. If you’re squeamish about window destruction, set fire to the lawn.”
Elsewhere, We Are Scientists advised fans to dress wild. “Dress wild, dress like a two-year-old child chose your outfit, and conversation will flock to you as bees flock to a Bee Magnetizer. Some traditionally solid wardrobe choices include: animal-skin shirts that are still bleeding, steel clogs, hairstyles sculpted from sugar not hair, and items that move while you stand still”.
Hmmm…. not sure if this is the best advice possible.
We Are Scientists are due to release ‘Barbara’ on June 14th.
