Frequently Asked Questions (about We Are Scientists)
-
- Are they really scientists?
- You think they would lie about a thing like that? How dare you.
-
- How did the band get their name?
- Supposedly they got their name from a conversation they had with a U-Haul worker. They were returning a truck, and the guy asked them if they were brothers. They said no, so he looked them up and down and asked if they were scientists. They said no again, but have regretted it to this day.
-
- Why are they always making shit up in interviews?
- 'Cause they're silly. And, to save the people reading it/themselves from boredom. But mostly 'cause they're silly.
-
- How would you describe their music?
- Take a handful of awesome, stir into a glass of cool, add a shot of kick-ass and add ice. Repeat.

- What are their live shows like?
- See above.
-
- Why are they so much more popular in the UK than their homeland?

- Because kittens are adorable.
-
- What happened to those kittens?

-
- Why does Chris repeatedly shave off that magnificent 'tasche?
- It's his punishment. It's like when Zeus stuck that guy on that mountain and those big birds came and ate some important organ of his, but then his important organ kept growing back every day, so the birds kept coming back to eat it. But then Herakles came and saved him. Chris is just waiting for Herakles to come and save him.
