Notes

"I never wanted to be in a band," recalls Wally van Middendorp, "and my plans were for Minny Pops to be a project with a strictly limited lifespan. I wanted to make a statement, I wanted to release records, and I wanted audiences to hear and face our music - and whether they danced and clapped or got confused and hostile almost didn't matter..."

Recorded live on 8-track with the same line-up that toured North America and recorded the band's Peel session, this 15-track audio CD (released January 2012) captures a group of performers who, despite van Middendorp's best intentions, sound like a powerful, provocative and compelling unit. Like a band.

A 17-track bonus DVD, Live in Amsterdam and New York, includes video footage from performances at New York's Hurrah and Peppermint Lounge, from Amsterdam's Filmacademie, and from the Melkweg gig featured on the audio CD.
