WE ARE SCIENTISTS

WE ARE SCIENTISTS Celebrate 20 Years of With Love and Squalor

Get ready for a night of indie-rock nostalgia and live energy as WE ARE SCIENTISTS bring their 20th-anniversary celebration of With Love and Squalor to the Rickshaw Stop on Wednesday, October 28. Co-presented by Rickshaw Stop and Popscene, the evening gives fans a chance to revisit a defining album in the band’s catalog while experiencing it in the electric setting of a live concert.

Released two decades ago, With Love and Squalor helped establish We Are Scientists as a sharp, energetic presence in the indie-rock world. The anniversary show offers a particularly fitting way to celebrate the record: not simply by revisiting it through headphones, but by hearing its songs performed live and sharing that experience with a room full of fellow fans.

The band’s music has long been associated with infectious guitar lines, driving rhythms, catchy songwriting, and a playful sense of personality. That combination makes We Are Scientists a natural fit for an anniversary tour built around a beloved record. Expect a performance that balances the excitement of hearing familiar favorites with the spontaneity and immediacy that make live shows special.

The evening begins with doors at 7:00 p.m., giving attendees time to arrive, meet up with friends, and settle into the venue before the 8:00 p.m. show. The supporting act is TBA, adding another element of anticipation to the lineup as the concert date approaches.

The Rickshaw Stop’s intimate concert environment provides an ideal backdrop for an anniversary celebration of this kind. Rather than simply commemorating the past, the show invites longtime listeners and newer fans alike to experience the album as a living part of We Are Scientists’ musical history.

For longtime devotees, the night promises a welcome return to a record that has remained an important part of the band’s story. For newer listeners, it offers a chance to discover With Love and Squalor in the context of a live performance and see why the album continues to inspire enthusiasm years after its release.

Whether you’re coming to relive the early days of your indie-rock fandom, hear the album live for the first time, or simply enjoy a night of energetic guitar-driven music, this anniversary celebration is one to put on the calendar.

Mark Wednesday, October 28 for a special evening with We Are Scientists. With 7:00 p.m. doors, an 8:00 p.m. show, and support still to be announced, the celebration of With Love and Squalor promises a lively trip through 20 years of indie-rock history—best experienced with the volume up and a crowd around you.
