Live in Boston, USA - Martin Gordon and his band of courageous (but carbon-neutral) mammals. Well, more or less.

At the instigation of drummer Steve Budney, Martin Gordon and Pelle Almgren swam all the way to Boston in August 2007 for a radio broadcast and a live gig. Along with the extremely diligent Brian Church and Ernie Kim on guitars/vocals (a.k.a. Tristan da Cunha), the quintet played for the discerning fishermen (and women) of Boston on August 2nd. Dr and Mrs Rock turned up with cookies, Martin’s underwear was eventually found in Cuba, fat people kindly looked after their stuff at Revere Beach and a splendid time was had by all.

Tracks include a Jet tune, a Radio Stars tune, Love Power from the Mel Brooks film the Producers, and a pile of mammalian behaviours.
