We Are Scientists at Knitting Factory (November 15, 2017)

All photos by Adam Heller

We Are Scientists released their most recent album Helter Seltzer in 2016 and we caught them last year at Irving Plaza when they celebrated the 10th anniversary of With Love and Squalor.

They haven’t released any new music since then but they have still been going at it live, most recently bringing it back home for a performance at Knitting Factory on November 15 as a part of the Knit Ball 2017.

The evening also featured opening performances from Simon Doom and Fruit & Flowers. We Are Scientists chugged through a setlist of practically everything a fan of theirs would want to hear, as well as a new cut entitled “Your Light Has Changed,” which may hint that we can expect a new album sometime in 2018.

Our photographer Adam Heller was there to capture photos from all three bands performances. Find them, along with WAS setlist, posted in the gallery below.
