Live from Antarctica, the coolest band on earth

Saturday's series of "Live Earth" concerts features a marquee-bursting array of the music industry's megastars, but perhaps its most impressive headliner is a band that doesn't even have a recording contract. That group, Nunatak, will be performing from Antarctica, with a stage audience about the same size as Kanye West's entourage. And when all is said and done with Live Earth, the band's members will go back to their desks, computers, and ice-diving equipment for another day at the South Pole. wow gold wow lvl wow powerleveling
Nunatak's five members are scientists stationed at the Rothera Research Station, which is run by the British Antarctic Survey. They are an ad hoc "house band" who, at Al Gore's request, are frantically rehearsing for a live webcast for the July 7 show. wow power leveling china tour
"There is quite a tradition of forming bands at Rothera," say band members Alison Massey and Rob Webster, via e-mail. Massey, the saxophonist, is a marine biologist who saws holes in antarctic ice so she can dive in the dark polar waters, even as her Live Earth compatriots in Hamburg and New York don bikinis and board shorts. wow gold fibreclay
For the Live Earth show, which includes eight other concerts around the world, Nunatak will play at least part of its set outside – in fingerless gloves, with temperatures plummeting to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. No pressure, right? travel china runescape money
The group's participation allows the Live Earth organizers to achieve a lofty goal: To stage concerts on every continent. world of warcraft gold smoke alarm
"We had envisioned Live Earth to be a seven-continent music event from the very beginning," says festival spokesman Matthew diGirolamo. "When we shared our plans with Al Gore's office, they connected us to [Nunatak.]"Beijing tour
