There are a lot of reasons to love New York City indie rock outfit We Are Scientists. They've generated a dedicated fan base in the U.S. and across the pond for their catchy dance-punk guitar riffs, thoughtful lyrics, spastic stage presence and a repertoire of witty on-stage banter more reminiscent of a Marx Brothers routine than a rock show. And after their rafter-rocking charity performance at Downtown D.C.'s Hard Rock Café, you can now add "philanthropists with hearts of gold" to the quartet's resume.Part of Hard Rock Cafe's nationwide March On Stage 2009 series, the Metromix-sponsored event raised a whopping $3,500 for Musicians on Call, a nonprofit organization to bring live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities in New York, Philadelphia and Nashville. The Metromix team was on hand to show their support for the cause, while dancing uncontrollably and passing out free swag along the way.
