the scientists- blood river red

the scientists are one of those cult favorites that most people just don't know anything about.  less known than their contemporaries the birthday party (mostly because nick cave went onto to success on his own), the scientists are a must listen.  formed in australia in the late 70s and continuing on into most of the 80s, the scientists mix of garage, post punk, noised drenched blues and gothic proto-punk that predated grunge and much of the darker indie rock to come.  

if yr a fan of the chrome cranks, the birthday party, gun club, mudhoney, radio birdman, the stooges or tv ghost....the scientists ought to be in yr collection now......

click here to grab the sympathy for the record industry issued collection "blood river red: 82-84"  and go to yr local record store to buy the recently issued lp "this is my happy hour: birth of the scientists"....
