Artist Biography

We Are Scientists are an American rock band featuring Keith Murray (guitar and lead vocals), Chris Cain (bass guitar and backing vocals) and Michael Tapper (drums and backing vocals). They formed in 2000.

In their own words, they create "rock music of the thoughtful, sometimes epic, often loud, vaguely danceable, implicitly humanist variety".

The band formed while its members attended the Claremont Colleges. Murray and Cain attended Pomona College; Michael Tapper attended Harvey Mudd College.

The band have released three self-made EPs (Bitching!, Safety, Fun, and Learning (In That Order) and In Action) and have released their debut LP, With Love And Squalor on Virgin Records. The first three singles are "Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt", "The Great Escape" and "It's A Hit". The album takes its name from the J.D. Salinger short story "For Esme - With Love and Squalor"

In one of their most important television appearances, the band performed on the December 19, 2005 episode of the Late Show with David Letterman on CBS.

The name "We Are Scientists" came from a song by the band Cap'n Jazz.
