Live EP is the first officially released live recording from the band The Mars Volta. The EP was released in limited quantities in 2003 and is now difficult to find. Due to this, the EP has become a collectors item among Volta fans, sometimes selling for up to $150 on eBay. The first two tracks were recorded live at the XFM Studio in London, 2003. The last two tracks were recorded at the Electric Ballroom in London on July 9, 2003.
During the jam in "Drunkship," part of "Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus" from Frances the Mute is played.
The album artwork is from the fable of Arachne (also Arachné). It has also been used as the backdrop during the band's live performances.
Live EP is a live extended play by The Sounds, which was released on Tuesday, May 30, 2006 as an iTunes exclusive. It contains the following tracks recorded live from their Dying to Say This to You album.
