We are excited to bring you the newest addition to the live at KEXP family: Live at KEXP Volume Five! Lovingly compiled from the best of over 440 live in-studio performances hosted by KEXP in 2009, this CD is more than a record; it's a testament that independent music and art is still alive and kicking.

On the disc, you will find one-of-a-kind, exclusive live tracks from some of this year's greatest artists, some well known, others just discovered, including DeVotchka, The Hold Steady, Andrew Bird, MGMT, Of Montreal, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Hey Marseilles and many more. All the bands on this compilation have donated their performances to support KEXP, a listener-powered, non-profit public radio station based in Seattle, Washington.
