we are THE PHYSICS

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!

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.

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.

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!

Hi, sons and daughters! Our new record YOUR FRIEND, THE ATOM is coming out on 22nd October on This Is Fake DIY Records.

You can pre-order it now from the site: http://shop.thisisfakediy.co.uk/atom

And, exclusive to DIY, you can buy a MEGA T-SHIRT BUNDLE for only 18 of your finest pounds.

But if that’s too much dough for you to part with, then we’ll offer you a £3 discount. IF you purchased our last album WE ARE THE PHYSICS ARE OK AT MUSIC. All you have to do is cut out the wee cardboard cut-out PHYSICS that came with that record and go nuts. Take a picture of yourself and them doing whatever. You don’t have to be naked in it. Then send it to us@wearethephysics.com

For example, look at what Aslan’s done here, gurning over the top like a giant human:

OR here we are pure getting mad wae it in New York City:

Don’t have WE ARE THE PHYSICS ARE OK AT MUSIC? You’re a prick. But, you can buy it here and redeem yourself.

ILOVEYOUBYYYYE.

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.

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 us@wearethephysics.com.

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.

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

We’s been getting hassled (by two people) to write out the lyrics for Goran Ivanisevic, presumably so people can see what else we’ve mis-pronounced.

So, here they are:

I try, I fail
I fail, I try
To fail is art
To art is fail
I try, I fail

The past speaks volumes, volumes that we’ll never read
It’s safe, safe to say, safe to say we’ll never breed
Self-belief is not something we like to feed
We like to feed, yeah, we like defeat

The past, well, it says less to us
Less than vacuous tongues that lap, lapping safely
Pressing faded marks into global crotches, yeah, global crotches
This transitory stain that disappears again

Wasting hours of my time doing star jumps in the gym
All to have, all to have a body like him
Wasting hours of my time doing star jumps in the gym
All to have, all to have a body like
Goran Ivanisevic

They try to shape you, twist and contort you
Skeleton keys are much more reliable
Chip, chip away at you, chip, chip away at you
They try to shape you, twist and contort you
Skeleton keys are much more reliable
Chip, chip away at you, chip chip chip away at you
You’re growing tits like Alan Turing

Wasting hours of my time doing star jumps in the gym
All to have, all to have a body like him
Wasting hours of my time doing star jumps in the gym
All to have, all to have a body like
Goran Ivanisevic

He tried, he failed
He failed, he tried

Goran Ivanisevic, it’s time, I think, to make that switch
No masquerade in self-belief, Goran Ivanisevic
Goran Ivansisevic, you tried and failed, iconoclastic!
No masquerade for self-belief, Goran Ivanisevic
