History
2008–2009: Formation and early EPs
In February 2008, Art vs. Science formed in Sydney as an electro-pop dance band, after Dan McNamee attended a Daft Punk concert in 2007. He convinced his former high school friends, Jim Finn and Dan Williams to join.[1][2] The trio were ex-members of Roger Explosion, a rock-punk band, which had formed in 2003 and included Finn's brother Tom on bass guitar. By 2007 Roger Explosion had released two extended plays and an album.[3] Art vs. Science has Finn on vocals and keyboards; McNamee on vocals, guitars and keyboards; and Williams (who, at the time, was also a member of Philadelphia Grand Jury) on drums and vocals. The band were booked to play gigs before they had created any songs.[1]
The band based their name on two members, one doing an arts degree, the other science. The third member did a language major at university.
After playing gigs and festivals, including the Parklife Festival, Falls Festival, Good Vibrations and touring nationally with The Galvatrons, Art vs. Science received a 2008 Unearthed J Award nomination.[4] Their song, "Flippers" was listed at No. 44 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2008.[2]
The band undertook its first headline national tour in May 2009, which was sold out.[5] In August, the group embarked on The Eiffel Tour across Australia.[6][7][8]
In July 2009, the band gained wider recognition after winning radio station, Triple J's Unearthed competition earning a gig at Splendour in the Grass.[9][10][11]
Art vs. Science's debut self-titled extended play was recorded at Big Jesus Burger studios in Surry Hills with producer Simon 'Berkfinger' Berckelman (Philadelphia Grand Jury) and was released in May. Dan Williams said "We recorded it all in one day, in one session, one mad day; locked ourselves in, with a lot of coffee and a lot of wine. We were set up in a room: it was all very minimal, no metronomes; just the producer screaming at us till we got it right."[12]
The EP peaked at No. 32 on the ARIA Singles Chart,[13] and, in December, it was accredited gold record status by ARIA.[14]
At the ARIA Music Awards of 2009 the EP was nominated for ARIA Award for Breakthrough Artist – Single.[15][16] They also received two AIR Award nominations for 'Best Independent Single' and 'Breakthrough New Independent Artist' and won 'Best Independent Dance Album'.[17][18] With their colourful mix of pop, French electro, and rock they won the Fasterlouder Festival Award for 'Best Local Act' in 2009.[19]
The band's track, "Parlez Vous Francais?", was added to rotation at community radio, Triple J and Nova 96.9.[20]Шаблон:Citation needed The song was listed at No. 2 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2009.[2][21][22] The video for "Parlez Vous Francais?", directed by Alex Roberts, was nominated for 'Australian Music Video of the Year' at the 2009 J Awards.[23] By the end of the year Williams had to give up playing drums in his other Sydney band, Philadelphia Grand Jury, in order to concentrate full-time on Art vs. Science.[1]
2010–2018: The Experiment and Off the Edge of the Earth and into Forever, Forever
Art vs. Science started to gain international recognition, following the inclusion of "Parlez Vous Francais?" on BBC 1 DJ Kissy Sell Out's cover-mount compilation on UK taste-making magazine Mixmag, airplay on John Kennedy's XFM's show and blog attention, courtesy of a remix package including tracks by Bumblebeez and Nadastrom. XFM also named the band one of the 20 Bands to Watch in 2010.[24] In 2010, the group toured the United Kingdom in support of La Roux in March and then Groove Armada in May.[25] Their track, "Hollywood", appears on the soundtrack of the basketball video game NBA 2K11.[26]Шаблон:Citation needed The band released its second EP, Magic Fountain, in August 2010, which reached No. 14 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[13] The title track reached No. 9 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2010.[27] At the ARIA Music Awards of 2010 the band received three nominations, ARIA Award for Best Dance Release, ARIA Award for Best Independent Release and Best Video for "Magic Fountain".[15] In October, Art vs. Science started recording their debut album, The Experiment, in Queensland with producer Magoo.Шаблон:Update after[28]
The band's next single, and official lead single from their debut album, "Finally See Our Way", premiered on Triple J's The Breakfast Show with Tom & Alex on 22 November 2010[29] and was released on 26 November.[30] In March 2011 the group supported The Chemical Brothers' Australian tour.[29] Art vs. Science signed with Kobalt Music Australia, the label's first local signing.[31] Their album was released in Australia on 25 February 2011.[32]
In early 2014, the band released a single entitled "Create/Destroy", as well as releasing a music video for a new song entitled "I Was a Child Once". "I Was a Child Once" is the result of an experimental collaboration and recording project open to the public, dubbed a world first. The project, named "Open Studio" was presented by Pedestrian TV and Ben Sherman, who opened a recording studio at Ben Sherman's Sydney Arcade flagship store for five days in February 2014.[33] The completed video and song was published to YouTube on 23 March 2014.[34]
2019–present: Big Overdrive
In May 2019, the band released the non-album single "Zeus in the Architecture"; the first taste of their most recent sessions.[35]
In November 2021, their first single in 18 months "SWEAT" was released alongside a music video directed by Angus “Beef” McGuigan.[36] The band started touring again with the SWEAT tour for a few months after the single's release.
In July 2022, the band released "I Saw You" and announced their third album Big Overdrive, which was released on 5 August 2022.[37]
