Live Earth From The Bottom of the Earth - Nunatak Wails

Posted Jul 7, 07 2:24 PM CDT in World,  Science & Health,  Arts & Living 

(Newser) – You've probably been wondering about the Live Earth Concert performance that is coming from Antarctica.  How many bands?   Can I get a front row seat?  The answers are: one band, called Nunatak, consisting of 5 British scientists stationed at Rothera and all 17 seats are sold out.   But you can watch them live on TV or the Internet.

 This is the band's first live performance.  And it will be to an audience estimated to be as high ats2 billion people.  The band's artistic influences include David Hasselhoff, Britney Spears and a Scot named Chris Deever.
