Who Are We?
Damn and blast. This is my third attempt at writing this post. First time blogger crashed on me, and now Firefox has just given up the ghost. Believe me my first draft was a Hemmingway-esque masterpiece. The wit of Wilde and the wordplay of Rushdie. And now forever lost into a pitch black cyberdungeon. My second attempt was solid but unspectacular. A John Grisham if you will. Now on draft #3 it's back to the usual. Roger Hargreaves?
A couple of bands for you today with an identity crisis.
Despite having very few lupine features, these three blokes from Montreal decided to call themselves 'We Are Wolves'
Must be the hairy palms.
So this song is from their debut album, and I like the cut of its jib.
Once again I can't help but think it sounds like 'My Sharona'. Perhaps I have tinitus, and I've now aquired that riff as a permanent feature in my brain? They sound a bit like DFA 1979 and Whitey, and like those two bands have decided to do away with that poncey breed of preening nonces that call themselves guitarists.
The revenge of the rhythm section.
WE ARE WOLVES - LITTLE BIRDS
Here's another strange optical illusion... if you move away from the screen the two swap places.

I have watched these videos by 'We Are Scientists' more than any other videos ever. That's not saying a great deal, as for some reason music videos seem to live off my radar. It's also because I don't have any of their Mp3s. But it's mainly because the videos are fun and so are the songs. They're poppy enough to have you singing along by the second chorus, and strange enough that you want to hear the third chorus.
As you can see from this picture, these boys come from the mean streets of New York. You can tell this because they wear skinny suits and converse. They are distinguished from other bands of their ilk by sporting interesting facial hair, and by having quite a sense of humour. Take a look at their website.
Alternatively watch these videos:
WE ARE SCIENTISTS - NOBODY MOVE, NOBODY GETS HURT
WE ARE SCIENTISTS - GREAT ESCAPE
I'm going to see the band at King's College in a few weeks. Should be a good 'un i'd say...
I'd suggest getting a ticket but it's sold out. Maybe you could buy their album instead?
