New songs!

As i’m sure most of you have already seen but the band debuted a few new tracks at their latest gigs! All sound great, and now I’m really excited for news on the new album! There’s a thread with links to videos on the official board HERE!

I’m not sure when the next album will be, but am looking forward to when the promos eventually start! Going to be on the lookout from before the start of this release!

I found a new different Chick Lit Promo CDR which I haven’t seen anywhere else, nothing major but will post a photo and add it to the discography soon!

Long time no updates..

2009 July 27
by wasiki

Firstly, sorry for so long without an update! I’m pretty dissapointed with myself that I’ve only, just posted this. But i’ve been so busy lately, designing, seeing my family and moving between Cardiff and home it’s been hectic! Also there seriously has been nothing new on ebay at all, or on the WaS front.. Literally nothing, I was hoping an old promo or something would surface, but Safety, Fun And Learning a few months back has been my last purchase!

A few interesting pieces though, I just got shown a photo of an instrumental promo CD for Brain Thrust Mastery, would love to get my hands on one, so if anyone has one or sees one for sale, please get in touch! Also still no sign of the WaS/The Whigs split 7″ vinyl for sale yet, wonder what they’re keeping it for?

Speaking of the band I met Michael at a Bishop Allen gig a few weeks back, got the obligatory photos and autograph :P He was really nice, gave another girl his drumstick and spent ages chatting with me and my friend! 

still looking out for Bitchin, and if anyone evcer has anything rare to sell, please get in touch!

Also a big thank you to everyone who is still using the discography and reading this blog, I was surprised how many views it has had, I really appreciate it!

Cheers,

Pete

Safety Fun and Learning!!!

I’m so excited! Finally after waiting and waiting I’ve got the Safety, Fun and Learning CD!! :D

It’s such an amazing piece and I’m loving the text in the insert! :D So i’ll be posting photos of the cd, adding a page and information for it on here at last and *hopefully* posting photos of my whole collection to the whole collection section! :D

And I think I need to update the Rarities page..

Can’t believe I finally have this CD in my collection! Just Bitchin to go now.. ;)

WAS/The Whigs split Vinyl

2009 March 4
by wasiki

I received the We Are Scientists/The Whigs split 7″ Vinyl today. Really well designed covers and a piece I don’t really know much about. From some emailing, I think that it is a promotional (probably US only) vinyl sent out to selected independent record stores for either staff or as giveaways. If anyone has any more information, please let me know!

I’ve added it to the discography with more photos, which you can check out here.

I’m really glad the vinyl arrived safely, now i’m just hoping the really rare item arrives safely!

NMNGH Split Promo DVDr

2009 February 26
by wasiki

I already have posted the DVDr promo I have for Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt (Here) but came across a second which is a split promo DVD, featuring NMNGH as well as ‘Eddie’s Gun’ by The Kooks, another band signed(/or were signed?) to virgin as well. Interesting how there’s at least 2 promo DVDs for this video yet I haven’t a promo for any other videos!

Also was looking into hosting this on my server space which I use for my portfolio site, but unfortunately somebody from Nevada has already registered wasiki.com and I don’t really want to change the name/can;t think of anything else I like. So for the meantime I’ve changed the skin to the very popular new style.

I’m still waiting for the split vinyl but am very excited as I have a very very rare item on it’s way! I’m just hoping it gets here ok!

Chick Lit Promo CDR & Site Updates!

2009 February 20
by wasiki

Haven’t posted in a while but have brought a few new items so will hopefully do a few updates over the next week or two providing they get here alright!

Firstly a CDR for the radio edit of Chick Lit that I haven’t seen before..

Secondly, i’ve been updating the discography section a little, if you look at the Brain Thrust Mastery Promo Page (Link) you can see I’ve removed the gallery of images at the bottom and included the relevant images after each description. For pages with lots of different items I think this will work easier, then other pages for single EPs etc I will probably stick to a gallery at the bottom.

A new split vinyl came up recently on ebay between the band and the Whigs, interestingly featuring Lethal Enforcer the seller wasn’t really sure where it came from either. I got the winning bid so will post details and photos when it arrives.

But from some emailing I’ve gathered that it was a promo sent to US indie stores, either for the staff or to give out to customers. Not sure which or if it was up to the store to decide but quite an interesting unexpected promo!

Taiwan CDs!

2009 January 26
by wasiki

Well it’s been about 6 months since I brought them and after many emails I finally have the Taiwan versions of WLaS and Crap Attack! Unfortunately, WLaS didn’t come with the obi strip but Crap Attack is enw and sealed. Not particularly rare, but cool nonetheless!

Textbook Under The Sea Promo Vinyl!

2008 December 29
by wasiki

Wow! Just got an amazing item, this is the promotional 7 inch vinyl for the track textbook under the sea! I’ve been trying to find out if this is real for ages and only last month I found out it was, and now I have my own copy! Like the Cashcow vinyl it’s a 1 track etched brown brown vinyl with a bat etched onto the back!

I’m confused to the rarity of this itwem, I know 2 other people who have a copy, and I remember seeing people saying about it on the old WaS board, but i’ve never seen it on ebay or anywhere else or even a pictrure until a few weeks ago! Which is very strange is a lot of people have it, confusing. But I think this is definitely one of the rarest We Are Scientists items! I’ll post pictures and add a page to then discography soon!

And a belated Merry Christmas to everyone!

Another Long Gap..

2008 December 20
by wasiki

Hey guys,

Sorry again for the lack of updates since my last post, but honestly there’s been nothing worth posting.. I’ve been to busy for any major updates and am at home now with my WaS collection at uni, so no chance to take photos and I haven’t found anything new this month at all.

The good news is I have something rare on the way from a friend which I will post about when I receive it!

Hope everyone’s having a good holiday so far!

Long Gap

2008 November 27
by wasiki

Sorry about the lack of updates lately everyone. Been really busy and nothing much has happened We Are Scientists wise! :( Just a massive thanks to Renee for plugging my site and the amazing positive response i’ve gotten since! it’s really rewarding to know people are actually looking at the discography. Remember if you have anything to contribute that I haven’t listed, please don’t hesitate to contact me!

One thing that has kind of shown up is I’ve had it confirmed that there is another 7 inch fanclub vinyl for Textbook Under The Sea. I remember reading about this on the Was board but never found any pictures or anything to confirm it. So it’s nice to know it’s real and if anyone has one they’d be willing to sell i’ll give you a top price for it! let me know if you do!

Otherwise, i’ve picked up two of the live CDs cheaply, there really good and I want all 4 for completeness but don’t want to shell out £60 for the set so I am just picking them up cheaply! I got a promo compilation CD from astralwerks that includes After Hours but it’s not much to show though I may add it if I create an ‘other’ section in the discography.

But generally nothing new to report, as I said i’m now looking for the Textbook Under The Sea Vinyl and am still looking for the Safety, Fun and Learning (sfl) CD and sampler of it, and the Bitching EP, again I’d give you a great price if anyone’s needing some extra cash! Anything else rare or unusual you have to sell or even just for me to add it to the site let me know at peterdrules (at) hotmail (dot) com

Thanks,

Pete
