Sea Base

OFF TO THE SEA BASE! The Plastic E-Gulls take their fifth album underseas. Why? So they can be closer to their record company, who also set up their own sea base while the New York office undergoes renovations. 


Ian sports a moustache, Brian sports a goatee, Ellen sports a baby, and Tina sports...well...Tina! The band record their first ten minute-plus song on this album.
