Beck's Music Box :: Scientists

The Scientists proved to me that rock ‘n' roll could be played by gentlemen in fine silk shirts half unbuttoned and still be dirty, cool and real
THURSTON MOORE (SONIC YOUTH)
Performing Blood Red River in a Don't Look Back concert
Influential Australian punk-rock band the Scientists perform the extended version of their critically acclaimed album Blood Red River. Blazing a trail to the UK in the 80s alongside the likes of Nick Cave and The Birthday Party, the Scientists went on to influence a younger generation of artists including Mudhoney, Nirvana and The White Stripes with their swampy, primal, blues-infused sound.
For the first time in Perth see the seminal line-up of Kim Salmon, Tony Thewlis, Boris Sujdovic and Leanne Cowie reunite on stage. Forget the bootleg recordings - experience the white heat of the Scientists live!
