Art vs. Science on Space Suits, Daft Punk and Chat Roulette Penises (VIDEO)

Spinner's big free NXNE concert at Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto featuring the Flaming Lips was something to behold, but the Lips weren't the only zany feel-good band to play that day.

Silver spacesuit-clad dance rock trio Art vs. Science were one of the revelations of the festival. The Australian band have already broken out down under, and it was clear why. Dan McNamee, Jim Finn and Dan Williams' set was dynamic, fun and just a little bit ridiculous.

As it turns out, when you put a camera in front of the band members backstage you get things that are almost as fun and ridiculous as when the band's onstage."We sing about the things you can do in spacesuits, like discover magic fountains," McNamee tells Spinner, explaining the band's song subjects. "Sometimes it's nonsensical, like you don't know if it's nonsensical or if it actually has a deeper meaning. And we purposely have ones that are actually are nonsensical but other ones that are like full of deeper meanings. But you don't know which is which."
