Live reviews

Electronic dance band, Art Vs. Science, had been forced upon me by my brother because he was going through a massive EDM phase and wanted me to be a part of it. When he told me about them, I had absolutely no interest and was kind of weirded out by them, but then he played “Parlez Vous Francais,” and found their music to be absolutely contagious. Even better are their live sets because of the endless amount of energy. What I love most about Art vs Science is that its not too electronic-y in the repetitive sense. This is probably due to the fact that, yes they have two electronic boards, but they also have a drummer and as small as that is, it completely changes the sound. When you see it live, you hear the drums come out better, and you realize that your life has been forever changed by Art vs Science.

When I went to see their live set, the crowd was HUGE. Everyone was pushing forward to get a glimpse of Jim, Dan Mac, and Dan W. do their thing. As little personal space as their was, everyone was having the best time dancing to the upbeat music. The crowd especially went wild when they played “Parlez Vous Francais.” It was really amusing to be one of the hundreds of people jumping up and down and singing the words to their songs. The crowd even got so loud at one point, they were able to stop the music and have the crowd sing a part of the song.

Report as inappropriate

Great fun, you can tell the band loves performing. Only wish they had a longer set time (it was a festival so to be expected). Good mix of old and new. Would see again.

LP Walkthru: Art vs. Science - Big Overdrive

Get the story behind the songs on beloved sydney/eora trio’s long awaited third album, image credit: pat stevenson.

For nearly 15 years the Australian trio of Jim Finn (vocals, keyboards), Dan McNamee (vocals, guitars, keyboards) and Dan Williams (vocals, drums) have been crafting their unique brand of indie infused electronic music as Art vs. Science . With a slew of anthems under their belt lifted from a number of EPs and albums, it’s been seven years since we were last blessed with a full-length Art vs. Science release… until today!

The all too appropriately titled Big Overdrive delivers on its title, being packed with big tunes layered in all manner of melodies, synthesisers, danceable drum beats and that signature Art vs. Science playful experimentation, not scared to push boundaries and try new things while maintaining cohesiveness and that signature Art vs. Science sound.

Of the release, the trio say “Big Overdrive is a celebration of jamming and making music which is fun, different and experimental. It’s a collection of tracks written over most of the band’s lifespan, with an emphasis on songs which we think are beautiful in their weirdness. The themes of the songs span love, loss, exuberance, life, death and passion. And dancing.” 

To dig even deeper into Big Overdrive, the boys were kind enough to tell us the tale behind each track on the album - have a listen and read along below!

We Are Learning

This is a song I wrote when I was in love with someone long ago, and was probably at peak hippiness. It’s about how we can’t really communicate emotions very well as humans, and it’s something we’re still learning to do.

Check The Boombox 

A real classic Dan Mac and Dan W jam - we recorded this at a friend’s house in Mt Wilson NSW. It was freezing cold but the vibes were warm and the feeling was swirly. 

How 2 Stay High 

A tune that arose from a quick and free wheeling jam between Dan W, Dan Mac and Jim - down at Brain Hotel Studios, part of Dan Mac’s house in Thirroul. We were talking earlier that morning about how you can’t try and endlessly recreate the first timer euphoria you experience in a hedonistic youth. And if you can’t do that, how can you keep the vibe alive? How do you stay high?

Dan W was noodling on an upright piano at Magoo’s studio when we were doing The Experiment. That’s how old this tune is and how resilient it must be to refuse to be forgotten and insist upon completion and release. The words are by Dan Mac and speak to his and his loved ones on times of trial and attempts to connect both to yourself and to others.

Big Overdrive 

Is it a Russian sabre dance? Is it the Tetris song? Is it some sort of breaks tune by Freestylers? No! It’s Art vs Science of course, wielding a deadly Yamaha DX21, an Ensoniq SQ1, and a Korg MS2000 being played through a Mesa Boogie amplifier in the bedroom that Dan Mac grew up in on a hot summer’s day.

A glowing ball of light, conjured by Dan Mac and seen by Jim Finn, led the writing of this song from start to finish. It is love, it is possibility, it is excitement. It is DANCE 

Deep in the depths of lockdown, Jim Finn asked Dan Mac to write a song about being in a club and feeling that excitement kick in. So he did and then we got Kim Moyes to take it to the next level. SWEAT, SWEAT, SWEAT. 

One Other Thing

Manager Claire Collins asked if we’d like to pitch to write the theme song for Double J’s “The J Files”. We all had a crack, and Jim Finn’s tune won the pitch! Dan Mac’s tune was seen by Dan W though, and D-dubs thought it should go on the album. It’s a weird song with some weird noises.  

Everyday People 

More from the steamy attic room.  Dan W and Dan Mac sang the verse vocals in one take into the same mic. The vox were intended as a placeholder until actual lyrics were written, but the vibe was strong and they decided it was finished. Lyrics have been written to fit the vibe and the phonetics. If you’d like, you should listen and write the words for yourself. It’s a musical Rorschach inkblot test.

This song is about galactic ecstasy. Galaxticy. Alien intelligences. Mortality. Euphoria. Death. Life. Dancing. Dying. 

Written at The Grove Studios, Moonlight is a weird, weird jam but it’s awesome. If you’ve never actually danced under the full moon, this might give you an understanding of the feeling. However, if you have danced under the full moon, then hopefully this is a reminder why you should care about your mind, and what happens in this great theater of yours.

Art vs Science Announce 10 Date Tour, Share New Video

"Buzzing to be back on the road again for the Big Overdrive tour! Coming to some places we’ve never been before / haven’t been in a long time. Pumped to play tunes off the new record and all the golden oldies. See you all there! Love Dan, Dan and Jim”

Art vs Science (Pat Stevenson)

Sydney electronic dance trio Art vs Science  have announced a new 10-date-tour of Australia in support of their latest album Big Overdrive.  The tour will take place in November and December. 

The  Big Overdrive tour announcement arrives accompanied by a new video for the track Check The Boombox , which can be viewed below. 

Speaking about the Big Overdrive tour, the band expressed their excitement. 

The band revealed that Check The Boombox  was recorded earlier this year at a friend’s house in Wilsons Creek in the Blue Mountains near Sydney. A full arsenal of old stereo equalisers, a terrible mixing desk, and dusty guitar amplifiers went into this track. 

Don't miss a beat with our FREE daily newsletter

“The cost of producing this track was keeping a black and white cat fed and entertained, and lugging the gear from Bondi in a hired Goget van.”

 Art vs Science have been synonymous with creative videos throughout their career and Check The Boombox  proves to be no exception.  The charmingly eccentric video was directed by Sam Kristofski (Tame Impala, Pond, Broods, San Cisco) and filmed in Los Angeles, California.

The band shared their thoughts on working with Kristofski: 

“Delighted to get Sam Kristofski to weave his weird wonderful magic for the Check The Boombox clip. Sam directed our action extravaganza clip for In This Together back in 2015, where he blew all the budget on helicopters, jet skis and mini helicopters. Stoked to let him blow the budget again, this time with journeying knights in the desert”.

Regarded by many as one of Australia’s best live acts, Art vs Science will hit stages in Brisbane, Kingscliff (NSW), Melbourne, Abderfeldie (Vic), Newcastle, Mandurah (WA), Fremantle, Wollongong, Sydney and McLaren Vale (SA) on the Big Overdrive  tour. 

Tickets for all dates are on sale now via venue ticket outlets.

Singles & eps, about art vs. science.

Art vs. Science are an Australian trio whose sleek, danceable, computer-embellished dance-pop compares favorably to acts like Electric Six, Justice, and Junior Senior. Their first two singles, "Flippers" and "Hollywood," got some buzz on Australian radio stations. The bandmembers wasted no time in recording their self-titled debut EP. Released in 2009, the disc jumped to number 32 on the Australian singles chart and nabbed an ARIA Music Award for Breakthrough Artist Single. The band released two more EPs the following year: Magic Fountain and Parlez-Vous Français? The band's first proper album, The Experiment, was released in 2011, peaking at number two on the Australian chart. ~ Neil Z. Yeung

‘In My Room’ With Art vs Science

The sydney electronic dance trio performed three dancefloor-ready tracks from their new album ‘big overdrive’., conor lochrie, conor lochrie's most recent stories.

For a band who has performed at nearly every major Australian music festival, Sydney’s Art vs Science has shared a trio of live tracks for the latest instalment of Rolling Stone ’s ‘In My Room’ .

Formed in 2008, Art vs Science has been widely acclaimed for their dynamic live performances and energy on stage. The band recently released their first new album in seven years, Big Overdrive , and to celebrate the record’s long-awaited release, the trio shared a stellar ‘In My Room’ session.

Kicking things off with “Check The Boombox”, that was followed by the festival-ready “I Saw You”, before they closed the performance with a lovely rendition of their 2021 single “Sweat”.

Art vs Science’s latest album came together between 2012 and 2022, and was the long-anticipated follow-up to 2015’s Off the Edge of the Earth and into Forever, Forever .  Big Overdrive is a collection of songs that captures the heights of the trio as a groundbreaking alternative dance band.

“ Big Overdrive is a celebration of jamming and making music which is fun, different and experimental,” they explain. “It’s a collection of tracks written over most of the band’s lifespan, with an emphasis on songs which we think are beautiful in their weirdness. The themes of the songs span love, loss, exuberance, life, death and passion. And dancing.”

Check out the band’s performance in the player above, or by heading over to Rolling Stone AU/NZ’s   Instagram page . The band’s latest album, Big Overdrive , can also be streamed below.

You can also catch Art vs Science perform these three songs and more on tour, with the band next set to play the Caloundra Music Festival on Friday, September 30th. They’ll then perform at Wine Machine in South Australia in December, with more dates to be announced.

“We’ve got one criterion and that is to make music that we find interesting, either because it’s weird or it’s ethereal in a certain way or it touches on things that are relevant to our personal lives… but mainly it’s weird,” vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Dan “Mac” McNamee told us in 2011.

“The big thing for us is that  nothing  is programmed – everything is played live. We want it to sound tantalising to the ear, but we also want it to retain its grungy band-in-a-room character.”
