We Are Scientists in Madrid (Sun, May 3, 2012)


We Are Scientists, the American trio sound so brit who loves Europe, finally returning to Spain to start a discussion (with some delay) the tracks from his latest album, released in 2010. With cold beer and bad weather, Madrid welcomes you like dancing.
Madrid, 22'15h. Gardens in the central street, close and silent, begins to assemble a shy group of people seeking shelter from the rain against the front of the room The Sun
With four laps in his belt, several EPs and even a series of fiction, We Are Scientists was last seen shortly, very shortly, by the Spanish geography. His last gig in Madrid was in 2006, shortly before releasing their second album 'With Love and Squalor "(Virgin, 2006), the same year presented in the FIB. And played them back, right?
It's time. The steps animated, anxious, down the stairs of The Sun to find a completely empty room in a few minutes, it shows almost crowded. The small stage of this room allows Madrid who occupy the front rows are practically on top of the stage, a few meters from the artists. The public can not be more eclectic. Since the thirties they met with their first album, to a younger face that should go into the playoffs from their latest album, 'Barbara', published in 2010.
With some delay, the New York trio jump on stage, greeted and promptly start out with 'Nice Guys', one of the hits from his latest work' Barbara ', followed by' Lets See It (Brain Thrust Mastery, 2008) and 'Rules Do not Stop' (Barbara, 2010). Keith Murray, guitar and vocals, animated smiles to the public and shown to be a restless ass jumping and pounding with his Fender skill. But who won a little closer to the audience with his talk in Spanish and a bottle of red wine a microphone stand, was the bassist Chris Cain. "Long ago we are not here in Spain. We are grateful for today, "Cain said in a Spanish quite clear.
The first rush of the night came in the fourth song, the highly anticipated dance hit 'Nobody Move' (With Love ..., 2006). The powerful sound of this hit led to another major singles as 'Chick Lit', 'Scene is Dead' or 'I Do not Bite' to which the said room chanting and dancing. Heated atmosphere, laughter shared between the band and the audience, loud guitar and drums (thanks to Michael Tapper, who sweated the shirt like the one above), gave way to the finish line concert with three songs that could not miss: 'Great scape ',' Jack & Ginger 'and the finale,' After Hours'. A well chosen repertoire that served to validate both his latest work, as the successes that auparon few years ago.
In an hour and a quarter Justito, the bolus was ready. "Thank you", they say, smiling funny, saying they will return soon. A hasty farewell. We satisfied but with that feeling of you want some dessert (there was a, or intention to do so), I'll wait here with the door open for The Riviera facing the challenge of a middle room, and finally , consolidate its status in the Spanish scene.
