We Are Scientists - These guys have probably the greatest relationship with their fans of any indie band I’ve yet encountered. Their website is frequently updated with humor and inside jokes that makes the fans feel like they’re best friends with the band. But now they’re giving us the ultimate gift - signing with a label that will give them distribution in stores across the globe. It had been speculated for a while by the internet community that WAS had indeed signed. We got confirmation yesterday when Christian Rudder of Bishop Allen confirmed that they had, indeed, signed to Virgin. Big day for the boys. However, I know that lots of times the indie community refers to this as “selling out.” Well, phooey on you. As long as Virgin doesn’t screw them (in which, they would no longer be Virgin) and take all their $$$, then I’m glad they’re making the move. Any thoughts?
