Background
The album features a set by the band performed at the Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide on 12 July 2019. Most of the tracks come from the band's later releases at the time; Infest the Rats' Nest (which as of this performance had yet to be released), Fishing for Fishies, Flying Microtonal Banana, and Polygondwanaland. Two other tracks come from earlier releases, namely "Hot Water" from I'm in Your Mind Fuzz, and the album closer, a nearly half-hour long rendition of "Head On/Pill" from Float Along – Fill Your Lungs which integrated elements of tracks from other releases such as "Hot Water", "Altered Beast", "Cellophane", "I'm in Your Mind", "Am I in Heaven?" and "Rattlesnake".
All of the proceeds have gone to Animals Australia in response to the 2019–2020 Australian bushfires.[4][5]
