The audience sung along to every word of the old classics. 4 new songs were played including Impatience, Dinosaurs, the one with the ooooh's and another one. Reading was the debut performance for the brand new live guitarist/keyboardist . NME call him Max Snow, Guardian call him Max Hart. Who knows the truth?

21/08/2007 Chris and Keith have made another REALLY surreal video. Half of wearentscientists.com will be seeing the band at Reading Festival this weekend. Depending on the amount of alcohol consumed, there may or may not be a report here next week. 31/07/2007 We've just got our hands on a little bootleg from the Siren Festival (we stole it from a super secret music forum). The quality isn't crystal clear but it's certainly listenable. Download it HERE (if the link expires drop us a line and we'll re-up it) The tracklisting is as follows (apparently it's the full set minus one new song - damn!): 1. This Scene Is Dead Enjoy! 26/07/2007 Here is an exclusive video of a brand new song recorded live at the Siren Festival! We have absolutely no idea what it's called. There's now so many new songs knocking around we can't keep up!
Many thanks to Martin Dalzell who recorded the song and sent it to us. More YouTube videos are available here.
