The Definite Article

Description

The Definite Article is a live album by the Scientists recorded on November 4, 2017, at the Triffid in Brisbane. It features the iconic lineup from the Weird Love period: Kim Salmon, Boris Sujdovic, Tony Thewlis, and Leanne Cowie. Considered one of the best Australian rock bands, the quartet performs twenty of their most beloved tracks. The recording captures the raw energy of the band: a wild, swampy sound, loud and intense. Satisfied with this performance, the musicians initially released it on cassette through Emmett Kelly's Ha Ha label and sold it during their tours. The cassette has long been sold out, and the In The Red label now offers this performance for the first time on vinyl. The record showcases the Scientists' intact stage power, several decades after their debut. Prestigious admirers like Warren Ellis, Jon Spencer, and Thurston Moore praise their influence, authenticity, and ability to combine elegance, sonic dirt, and rock'n'roll spirit.
