Claremont, Los Angeles CA, United States (2000 – present)
We Are Scientists is an American indie rock band featuring Keith Murray (guitar and lead vocals), Chris Cain (bass guitar and backing vocals), Max Hart (keys and guitar) and Andy Burrows (drums) previously Michael Tapper (drums and backing vocals). They formed in 2000 in Claremont, CA.
Their name was inspired by an awkward conversation with a U-Haul employee who was inspecting a van that the band had rented. The U-haul employee, attempting to make polite conversation, asked the three bespectacled band members if they were brothers. They said no. He asked if they were scientists, as they looked like they could be the kind of people who wear lab coats. They told him that they were musicians, not scientists. To this day, they regret telling the truth. They are not named after the Cap’n Jazz song which bears the name.
The band formed while its members attended the Claremont Colleges. Murray and Cain attended Pomona College; Michael Tapper attended Harvey Mudd College.
The band has released three self-made EPs (Bitching!, Safety, Fun, and Learning (In That Order) and In Action) and their debut LP, With Love and Squalor was on Virgin Records, the first three singles of which were “
Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt”, “The Great Escape” and “It’s A Hit”. The album takes its name from the J.D. Salinger short story “For Esme - With Love and Squalor”.

I love these guys, but what I love most is if you click on Keith Murray's name down in the 'band members' section, it instead takes you to the rapper, Keith Murray. Oops!
