Photos by G. Art Vs. Science I admit it. I went to go see the Australian dance/punk/electro band Art Vs. Science based exclusively on their name. The trio played New York's Bowery Ballroom on August 12, 2011. My instincts were right and they turned me into a fan before their set was over. I checked out their debut album "The Experiment" after the show was over and I recommend it. There's a few mid-tempo tracks, but most of the album will get you up [...]

We've been huge supporters of Australia's Cloud Control , so much so that we had the group play our SXSW Party this year. Lucky for us, the band are gearing up for a brief trip to the States this summer while they focus their work on their upcoming debut, rumored to be out later this year. It's tracks like this new one, with it's amped up folk tendencies that really got us hooked on the group, giving them a place in the purgatory of indie realms, dwelling somewhere between pop gems and folk revisionists.
