Bull And Gate Weekend: We Are Scientists

Here's another thing that would be the lesser without the Bull And Gate: the Camden Crawl. The annual clatter-about-Camden multivenue gig thing has long been anchored, in part, by the B&G. Here's We Are Scientists from this year's Crawl:

Now we are 11

Great excitement from We Are Scientists as they hit the mighty number 11 slot and celebrate by, erm, planning to shake down 7/11 for sponsorship.

We are not Scientists, oh no

From the thickening folder of "not quite getting the idea about secret gigs": We Are Scientists are doing three secret support slots in New York under the name Beat Up Old Men. The idea is to stick to all-new material and not feel obliged to do old stuff:

"It's a good way to see The Long Blondes for free" Keith Murray told NME.COM. "And we don't want people to come and ask for 'Nobody Move'".

Still, it's still fairly secret, isn't it? Nobody knows exactly where...

Beat Up Old Fellas will play:

Brooklyn, NY Luna Lounge (June 6) (w/ The Long Blondes)
Hoboken, NJ Maxwell's (8) (w/ Snowden)
New York, NY Mercury Lounge (9) (w/ The Spinto Band)

Oh.
