The Scientists Return For Exclusive Shows With Classic 1985 Line-Up

Not to be missed!

Seminal '80s post-punk quartet The Scientists are returning to Australian stages in their classic 1985 line-up this October/November for a set of exclusive shows in a handful of cities.

The Perth natives have seven studio albums and a slew of EPs to bring to the stage and with the classic bill of Kim Salmon, Boris Sujdovic, Tony Thewlis and Leanne Chock, you'll hear classics from their catalogue as they were written.

Though they've reformed for one-off shows in recent years, including at All Tomorrow's Parties in the UK, this'll be a rare chance to see the 1985 bill in a headline capacity. 

The Scientists will kick off the four-date run in Perth on 27 October, before moving onto Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.
