We Are Scientists tour with Kings of Leon

We Are Scientists seem to be popping up everywhere these days: sounding out in the Nick and Norah's infinite Playlist  trailer, supporting R.E.M. while they frolic all about Europe and, now, joining Southern rockers the Kings of Leon on a tour across the States. What began in a dorm room back in '97 just keeps getting greater.

After the success of their first album released in 2005, With Love and Squalor,  the boys came back this year with Brain Thrust Mastery, which made it to #11 on UK sales charts and scored them a performance on The Late Show With David Letterman. Soon the scientist impostors will be heading off to Australia for a week of headliners and then jet setting back to the U.S. of A. to join the Kings.
