Live Earth Antarctica

Back in April the Rothera wintering band (Nunatak) were asked if we'd like to preform for the Live Earth concerts. Apparently we weren't their 1st choice (really?!) but the organisers hadn't realised that it's pretty much impossible to get people into Antarctica during winter. So, after months of practise and what seemed like endless interviews we finally recorded our 2 songs and on 7th July 'played' to our biggest audience so far, 2million, which was quite a jump from 50 people in the sledge store!

Unfortunately there's a lack of roadies down here so we had to set up our own kit

Filming

If anyone wants to hear what we sounded like just search for 'nunatak' on www.youtube.com
Following the success of our 'world-wide tour' we recieved a total of 6 e-mails from avid fans, had a Nunatak facebook site created in our honour and politely turned down 3 recording offers - ahh the pain of fame. Back to our day jobs it is then ...
