FRIDAY 28 JULY 2017- ART VS SCIENCE
Sydney-based three-piece Art vs Science have come a long way since 2009. Their debut EP Magic Fountain featured ‘Parlez-vous Francais?’, which ranked #2 in Triple J’s Hottest 100 in 2008, and ‘Magic Fountain’, which ranked #9 the following year. In 2011, Art vs Science won an ARIA Music Award for Best Independent Album and were championed as festival headliners, known for their feel-good and dynamic live shows. They honed their sound for the 2014 EP Create / Destroy, and the result was a self-assured release paying tribute to their dance rock roots, but with a new level of depth and vitality. The trio reunited in 2015 for their sophomore release Off the Edge of the Earth and into Forever, Forever, so don’t miss them as they kick off Up Late during ‘Marvel: Creating the Cinematic Universe’.
