Happy Apple - Nothin' But Net: Live 1998​-​2000 (April 2021)

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of our 3-disc set of live performances recorded in 1998-2000.

"Nothin' But Net" is a compilation of our favorite tracks from this never commercially available release. It also features tunes never recorded for any of the group's studio albums.

These recordings hold a special place in our hearts for both their ferocious energy and gentle introspection.
