We Are Scientists & The Demise of The Bier Keller
While trying to get some work done I came across this little gem - the new track by New York's favourite test tube band 'We Are Scientists'. I've been a big fan of theirs for years, and remember seeing them a ton of times at Manchester's Bier Keller (R.I.P). How I loved Bier Keller. The dirty benches. The rather odd looking illuminated beach painting at the back of the stage. Oh, and the *ahem* free beer. Well, the stolen beer (they kept all the crates in the 'backstage' area - BYO bottle opener). Maybe that's why they shut. I feel horribly guilty now. So many good nights and encounters. Sadly I don't have any pictures of WAS playing there (since the great photo robbery of 2009) but here's a shot of the beautifully named electro-punk band Selfish Cunt I took a few years ago. Happy days.
