Art vs. Science - ‘Flippers’
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 6 or above) is required to play this audio clip. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Sydneysiders Art vs. Science seem to have a very clear game plan. They make upbeat music for excitable people. Their style is uncomplicated, energetic and most critically, fun. They even provide simple to follow instructions on how best to enjoy it. This, for example, is what you should do when listening to Flippers:
1) I see you dancing with your flippers
2) I see you swimming with your flippers
3) I see you clapping with you flippers
4) Getting Happy with your flippers.
Of course you don’t have to follow these rather cryptic instructions. You could just wave your hands and feet in a way that would look unbelievably stupid if you were to do it in any other context. Ah, the liberating quality of music. Everybody should know what it feels like to dance like a giant penguin in the snow.

these guys are fucking shit, seriously, i saw them recently at oxford art factory, and they were so fucking shit i almost threw up.
Ps. they are fucking ugly too - not that it really matters in terms of the music, but meh, its true.
Er, excuse me rob balkin, as far as I’m aware they’ve never played a gig at the oxford art factory, so you must have your bands mixed up - anyway, the song rocks, as do the band
Seen em at splendour.. they fuckin rocked!!
These guys are going to go far in the future!
Their song flippers is already getting tonnes of airplay on triple j!
And also they aren’t ugly, they are nice looking young men i would say
Re Rob Balkin. Harden the f#*#* up dude. These guys rock. I vote best pump up song I’ve heard in ages!
Haha good one to whoever used my name to post that comment :/
Balkin you shit you’ve never seem them play. Go punch some trumpets. And to Dave they’ve played a lot at Oxford Art…
Art v Science is the one of the best Australian Bands
around ‘Flippers’ is a rocking hit
I saw these guys playing at vanshe and they were amazing!! i loved them, especially the parlez vous francais song!!
Don’t be fooled in to thinking that Art Vs Science are all about the flippers song, these guys play an impressive set full of quality, catchy songs. I saw these guys with Van She and then with the Galvatrons last night and they were brilliant. I have never seen a support band get such a great crowd reaction! This music makes you want to dance, is fun and exciting- and furthermore, the energy that these guys give off on stage is fantastic. If you ever get a chance, watch them live , and I hope these guys become successful, cause they deserve it
Great song it is, pity though that JJJ have played the sh.t out of it for the past 3 months and totally ruined it for me. They seem to do this with many great songs, especially when the artists are signed to them. HIGH ROTATION IS FOR SHORT TERMS ONLY KINGSMILL!!!
Or maybe I just need to listen to other stations :/
This band combined with Amy Meridith represent what is wrong with Australian music. No originality or talent. The most numbingly boring live set ever.
