We Are Scientists Discuss Their Performance Last Night

We Are Scientists explained that their performance on the Other Stage last night “was like working in a peanut brittle factory. It feels like a dead end job but the result is sweet as hell.”

Those were the words of vocalist and guitarist Keith Murray before bassist Chris Cain pipped up to add: “I was going to say it’s like pissing Tabasco sauce.” Murray agreed they were the same thing.

Chatting to Gigwise while walking through the site the band spot a nice area of mud and proceed to play around in it. Cain said: “I don’t understand why people in wellies are such pussies about standing in stuff like this. It’s like do these things leak or something.”

Lightspeed Champion, who’d joined the band onstage for a rendition of ‘After Hours’ came up to us all for a quick embrace and a few words of praise from Murray for the performance.

Gigwise asked where the band were off too to which Murray said: “We’re off to see Edith Bowman and Zane Lowe. That’s our festival – watching those jokers.”

Cain comes back over as we find out what it’s been like for their first ever Glastonbury. Discussing the mud once again he said: “If I’d have come here and it was bone dry I’d have felt like I’d have come here on an off year. People would be destined to say it’s not a real Glastonbury.”

Onee last piece of advice from Cain: “Bring a lot of penicillin.”
