Who saw We Are Scientists at the Warfield last night? Perhaps the thing we like most about W.A.S. is how they make the most out of what they've got. They've trimmed the fat. There are no five-string basses or extraneous conga players. The drummer's kit is tastefully small. Everyone in the wiry trio does double duty, playing their instrument and singing along on harmony.
