When artists stop by the wfmu live room, they usually want to know about typical backline items like drums and amplifiers. Max Tundra was more interested in our toy piano and an ancient accordion.
Ben Jacobs (aka Max Tundra) performed 4 songs, including this unique recording of "Lysine". The original version, sung by Jacobs' sister Becky, can be found on the 2002 Domino Records/Tigerbeat6 release Mastered By Guy At The Exchange (named so because it was). Great album, as is 2008's Parallax Error Beheads You.
This was, semi-officially, Max Tundra's debut performance in the US
