Forget We Are Scientists. The Live Earth band that will have Antarctica all to themselves really are scientists.
A quintet of British researchers studying the effects of global warming on Antarctica have formed a band, Nunatak, to perform during the concert event Saturday.
Organizers wanted to send a band to Antarctica to perform (man, don't we all have a list of bands we want to send to Antarctica?) but because it's winter there and the temperatures are, at their warmest, about 14 degrees this time of year, that wasn't possible. So Nunatak, a bunch of indie-rockers influenced by Oasis and Led Zeppelin and led by 22-year-old electronics engineer Matt Balmer, will make its world debut in front of 2 billion or so people. Take that, mySpace!
