Selling out Bowery Ballroom | A Highlight for We Are Scientists
You have been together as a band for five years now, over those five years what has been your personal highlight?
Playing the Bowery Ballroom in New York City was definitely one of the highlights for me. Up until that point we hadn’t really played venues of that size, as a support band or otherwise. Although in the UK we have been playing 1000 to 1500 seat venues.
So to go back home to New York and finally play a venue that is seen as a cornerstone of the New York scene, and where we have seen so many great bands ourselves, was a big thing for me. The fact it sold out really quickly was the cherry on the cake for us.
I tend to be quite cynical about the facts of our success. When I found out we were booked to play Bowery Ballroom I was incredulous as hell and declared that our management was determined to embarrass us, and then it went and sold out in a week and a half.
