Bowery Ballroom

We Are Scientists is a rock band based in New York City that was formed in Berkeley, California, in 1999.

Subsequent albums include Brain Thrust Mastery (2008), Barbara (2010), TV en Français (2014), Helter Seltzer (2016), Megaplex (2018), Huffy (2021), Lobes (2023), and Qualifying Miles (2025).
