Last Friday night Popstarz was host to a show from American geek-rockers We Are Scientists, who bombed it across town via XFM, to play a six song set for us. I was a bit worried about this gig to be honest. Sure people liked WaS but they aren't an absolutely massive Popstarz band. Such worries were unnecessary though as when we arrived at midnight, the club was really full and much busier than I had expected.
I'd seen the band before, supporting Editors at Astoria in 2005 and briefly at Benicassim this year, and although I think they're alright, I'm not a massive fan. That said, their performance at Popstarz was actually really good, and their cover of The Ronettes Be My Baby certainly brought it up a notch or two. Also Chris from Editors joined the band on stage to play bass during The Great Escape so let's hope he thought the club was cool and Editors want to play too. We played the 2 - 4 slot after the band and managed to keep people dancing to Mika and CSS. Hooray!
