Highlights...


 
 

In May 1999, Martha and the Muffins (Martha, Mark, Jocelyne Lanois, Nick Gane, Sarah Keates, and Tom Bona)  performed "Echo Beach" on the Open Mike With Mike Bullard Show (Canada's late-night talk show, also seen on the Comedy Channel). The Mike Bullard website episode archive seems to have lost this episode. I post here a pic of the performance and urge you to support late night television.

Have you heard the song Do You Ever Wonder? on a compilation album "The World According to Popguru" by Graham Stairs. More info at the popguru site

 Then Again was released by EMI Canada in 1998!
The long-awaited retrospective album 
with 18 songs: Paint by Number Heart, Echo Beach, Suburban Dream, You Sold The Cottage, Swimming, Women Around The World At Work, World Without Borders, Danceparc (Every Day It's Tommorow), Obedience, Several Styles Of Blonde Girls Dancing, Black Stations/White Stations, Come Out And Dance, Cooling The Medium, Song In My Head, By The Waters Of Babylon, Rainbow Sign, Fighting The Monster, Resurrection (new song!!!)
Martha's "Tree House" Won Juno Award for best children's recording.
