Art vs. Science are a Sydney trio, together since February 2008, built for the dance floor. Jim Finn sings and plays keyboards, Dan McNamee sings and plays guitars and keyboards, and Dan Williams drums and sings, and together they make electro house with a rock band's muscle and a sense of humor to match.
Their self-titled EP in 2009 was a blast of sweaty, synth-slathered fun, with "Parlez Vous Francais?" as its daft, irresistible centerpiece, plus "Flippers" and "Friend in the Field". An independent EP picked up three nominations at the 2010 ARIA Music Awards, and then came their debut album, The Experiment, in 2011, which climbed to number 2 on the ARIA albums chart and won the ARIA for Best Independent Release. "Magic Fountain", "A.I.M. Fire!" and "Finally See Our Way" showed they could stretch out without losing the beat, and they even gave Metallica's "Enter Sandman" the dance-floor treatment.
