GIG / NEW SONG / GIGS / NEW SONGS

All three of you are desperate to know what's going on in Physics-land, right? Right? No.

Tough, it's our solemn duty to inform you for three reasons:

A) To maximize our interaction with those who may actually do care but do so in a passive manner

2) To make it look like we're not just sitting around playing Xbox and drinking Irn Bru

D) We have to write it down or we'll actually just forget.

So, here's what's going on, we just released this new video for a song on our record called GO GO NUCLEO -> FOR SCIENCE directed by Joe & Lloyd Stas at Holomax:

We also just got back from Russia where we played two gigs and a radio session in which we busted out Goran Ivanisievic and There Is No Cure For The Common Cold So Don't Expect A Cure For Cancer on an acoustic guitar after having no sleep for three days like a very tired Coldplay.

Here's a video of us playing our song NBSP in Moscow:

The brand new news is that we're playing TONIGHT in Glasgow in support of the very excellent Halfrican for their CASSETTE LAUNCH, with Deathcats and Creeping Ivies. We'll be playing a fast set of fast songs including a new song called THE BEATLES (THIRD BEST BAND (APPROX)). It's a fast new song that we play fast. Doors are at 8:00 PM and we'll be on about 9:30 PM.

After this we'll be boosting down the highway in May to visit some towns and they include these:

16th May LONDON - Brixton Windmill w/ Local Girls

17th May ABERDARE - Elliot's Bar w/ Bankrupt Pug, The Stunt Doubles & Civil Foes

18th May BRIGHTON - Fool's Paradise & Bad Math's Alternative Escape @ Pav Tav

19th May NEWCASTLE - Head Of Steam w/ So What Robot

Please come out of your pits and see us if you can because it'd mean a lot to us. We'll probably split up after this tour.

BYE!

Things, etceteros.

Hi jazz cats.

We are doing two gig live show gigs with Desaparecidos this weekend, 9th February in Glasgow at The Arches and 10th February in Manchester at The Academy 2.

Both of these gigs are 14+, so if you're not yet a fully grown legal adult, you should come down, it's going to be a mega-hoot.

In other news, we have started writing a new record. It's going to be amazing, it'll sound pretty much exactly the same as everything else we've ever done because we prioritize eating over progression.

We should have a couple of new videos busting your way at some point, and we'd also like to release a new physical EP with some songs and some songs and some songs at some point with some songs.

But this is all just conjecture, and we're just riffing right here. We haven't told anybody else this.

BYE!

Here's a photo of our hot ass.

We Unleash Dildonics On You Sorry About That

Hi! It's the season of goodwill and all that. So, we thought what better way is there to celebrate the world's goodnesses than by releasing a song about how the male genitalia will be rendered redundant?

We've released a song from our award-dodging album Your Friend, The Atom on 7" vinyl (nudge nudge wink wink), available exclusively while stocks last from our very own shop: http://wearethephysics.bigcartel.com

It's VERY limited and features hand-vandalized artwork. Make someone feel self-conscious this Christmas by purchasing this phallic title.

Your Friend, The Atom - UNLEASHED!

HI EVERYONE! In case you missed it earlier, today we released our brand new album YOUR FRIEND, THE ATOM. You can buy it from the usual suspects - iTunes, Amazon, Play (where they couldn't write out   so we win all of the internets), and also directly from our record label This Is Fake DIY Records.

If you want your hands on a signed copy, we spoiled a few at Banquet Records the other day.

We're dead pleased with the response we've had for the record, with one critic calling it "the second album from We Are The Physics". But, we won't use those buzz-phrases, you should listen to it and make your own mind up. Of course, if you  don't think it's good, you're just wrong.

Please do this little little band a favour and spread the word - we don't have any paid promo, we don't have any advertising budget, everything we do is off our own backs, so we appreciate everything you ever say about us. Apart from that one guy.

THANK YOU FOR LIKING/DISLIKING US!

Listen yous, the exclusive THIS IS FAKE DIY pre-order t-shirt deal finishes TOMORROW at 5pm...or before if we hit 100 orders, which is CLOSE.

So if you want your exclusive atomic t-shirt, go and pre-order now. Once these t-shirts are gone, they're gone forever like the mind of Tom Cruise.

If you don't want it, that's fine, but you won't be the best.

Oh, you. Your plans just changed for Saturday 22nd September because you're now coming to this. It's free. That means you don't have to pay anything to get in. There may be a moral toll, but there'll be no money changing hands.

We're going to pummel your face with songs, and so will Bear Cavalry, Yearbook and Teej.

We are learning the Sister Sister theme tune for this. You can be Roger and, at the end of the night, you can go home.

Tonight, Edinburgh... WE IRRITATE YOU.

This image is dead dead small, but don't let that put you off coming to see us support CHURCHES this evening in old Edinburgh town where The Twilight Sad and Frightened Rabbit will also have a DJ-off.

Doors at 10:30 PM at the Electric Circus and we'll be on about midnight if you want to avoid us. Although, given that you want to avoid us, you might turn up at midnight:thirty and go "Haha, we've missed those irritant pric...OH NO, THEY'RE JUST STARTING" because if we have nothing else going for us, we do have the fact we're extremely irritating and that's just the sort of thing we'd do to irritate you further.

Please come, but.

It's our last day of filming on God Help The Girl today so, in celebration, we're posting this picture of the frantic, terrifying moments before the END OF THE WORLD.

We've had a pure beezer of a time doing this film and we can't wait to see all of our scenes cut due to us being terrible. There was a moment where Michael M and Michael Drum had to pretend to be real human guys talking to girls, which has been the most difficult moment of their acting careers so far.

Thanks to everyone in the cast and crew of the film who made us feel dead nice and were patient when we couldn't say things out of our mouths like real human people.

YOU CAN SEE IT IN 2013!

Booking Gigs For Sep/Oct/Nov

HELLO!

In case you missed it earlier, we're currently booking gigs for September, October and November. If you're interested, or know someone daft enough to be interested, in booking four idiots to do some shouting in a room near you, give us an email on [email protected].

We would like to come to ALL OF YOUR PLACES and PLACES WE'VE NEVER BEEN BEFORE, but we are very poor - so we're having to pick and choose really carefully to slot them around when we can do/what we can afford. However, this means every offer is considered because we want to please everybody and we're happy to play in bathrooms, ceilings and in space.

If you like inviting guys from bands to your town and then killing them, please don't get in touch.

Applied Robotics Lyrics

This post is for YOU if you like being bored by posts.

We've had almost eighteen thousand emails from people asking what the lyrics are to our new single, released on 13th August called Applied Robotics. Well, who are we to disappoint? WE ARE WE ARE THE PHYSICS and disappointment is often a free gift with everything we do. So, without further ado:

There is a shift in pace with new technologies And I still underestimate the change of disease Technology's now the opiate of the masses And even I am posthuman now that I require glasses And I'm wondering when it was that I became complex And when small packets of software started having sex It takes a little, it takes a lot It takes a little, it takes a lot Now we're always on our knees, Held at ransom by the keys And so I tried robotics, I applied robotics I tried robotics, applied robotics There is a shift in pace with new technologies And I still underestimate the change of disease It takes a little, it takes a lot It takes a little, it takes a lot Driving strapped in control, I feel much better now I'm whole So I tried (so, he tried) Things are better when we try So I tried (so, he tried) Things are better when we try We are nannied by machines and firewalling keeps us clean Smiles made brighter by the screen and firewalling keeps us clean And so we tried robotics, I applied robotics I tried robotics, applied robotics

Yesterday we shot this new video for Slipknot. Just kidding, of course. It's your favourite (well, let's be honest - we're at least in your top 75) sci-pop punk-splosion band.  Thank you for all the pure nice things you've said about the new tracks - we hope you think the whole collection smells like pot pourri when it finally DRAPS later this year when we're going to punch your appendix in with a new album but, until then, we're laying low like commandos.

APART FROM THIS - We play for Detour in Edinburgh on 22nd August at midnight supporting CHURCHES at Electric Circus. This is gonny be our last gig in Scotland for a bit, so be sure to get your fight legs in there. MEGA CITY WAN, mate!

[wearethephysics-blog]

In case you missed it - here's our BRAND NEW SINGLE - Applied Robotics.

You can listen to it using your ears and stuff here, and it will be released for general consumption on 13th August from your usual audio merchants and stuff.

We're still shooting a film in Glasgow, but we're burning the candle at both ends by coming straight from the set to bust out MASSIVE DANCE ANTHEMS tonight in Mono supporting BIS! This is unmissable, unless you miss it, in which case it's quite missable - but all your pals will be like - "State."

Tonight's gig may or may not contain the last EVER performance of the world's best one-song movie band WOBBLY LEGGED RAT. You have been warned.
