Scientists – Definite Article (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
The Scientists never got their due outside of Australia and a tight circle of underground devotees, but their influence on the noisier, swampier side of American rock, from Mudhoney to the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, is well documented. The "Weird Love" lineup remains the definitive configuration, the one that sharpened the band's rawboned garage instincts into something genuinely unhinged.
The Definite Article captures the Scientists "Weird Love" lineup (Kim Salmon, Boris Sujdovic, Tony Thewlis, Leanne Cowie) performing live at the peak of their powers at The Triffid in Brisbane on November 4, 2017. The Australian rock legends run through twenty of their best loved songs and captures them at their raucous, swampy, noisy best. The band were so happy with the performance and the recording that they decided to release it on cassette on Emmett Kelly's Ha Ha label and sell it on tour. With the tape long sold out, In The Red is happy to bring this incredible performance to vinyl for the first time."I love their records. They wrote fantastic singles and looked like they just crawled out of the ooze. What more could you ask for?" - Warren Ellis"The Scientists turned my head around and made a man out of me! They grew hair on my palms and made my socks stink." - Jon Spencer"The Scientists proved to me that rock 'n' roll could be played by gentlemen in fine silk shirts half-unbuttoned and still dirty, cool and real." - Thurston Moore
