| Art vs. Science |
Art vs. Science is an three piece techno-pop band from Australia that gave a lively performance at
the 2012 Bonnaroo Music Festival. Their short afternoon set at the Sonic Stage on Saturday, June
9th was a very unique sounding medley of house beats, rock & roll, and synthed out keyboards. This
distinguishing blend of musical styles and influences gives them a style that they can call their own.
For being a newer band they definitely had a hugely confident stage presence, being dressed in silver
space suits and knowing exactly how to get the crowd hyped.

At times, band members Jim Finn and Dan
McNamee would double team the keyboards, making a sound that almost sounded similar to the electro
craziness of Daft Punk. At other times, Dan McNamee would shred fast paced guitar solos and lead into
a punk-rock vibe. It was this constant fusion of tastes that is going to give this band tons of newfound popularity as they continue to play around the United States and elsewhere. The crowd at the show wasn’t the biggest of any band that afternoon, but it was obvious that people walking by would get
sucked in and stay for the performance. Art vs. Science played again at midnight that night at the Great
Taste Lounge.

Art vs. Science has had a huge past few years. Since forming in 2008, they have hit the big time,
touring internationally. They won the 2011 Australian Recording Industry Association award for Best
Independent Release for their album The Experiment, and were nominated for a few more. This hip new
band shows no signs of slowing down and we will continue to anticipate their next American
appearance.
