Pitchfork

They are We Are Scientists, and you are, in all likelihood, currently sitting directly in their path. The spazz-rock combo, hot on the heels of the release of the Brain Thrust Mastery LP, has scheduled an intercontinental trek as the summer sets in.

The frenetic set will stick to Europe this month, including a handful of UK in-stores in the wake of the June 9 UK release of a single for Mastery's "Chick Lit" on Virgin. They'll then bring things back to the States in July and early August, before checking those bags once again and returning to the Old Countries to close out the month.
