Omnivore Recordings will release power pop band Jellyfish’s first official live album, Live at Bogart’s, on July 3. Recorded in 1991 in Long Beach, CA, with the band on tour behind their debut album Bellybutton, Live at Bogart’s features
13 tracks.
Five of these tracks are previously unissued performances,
while the others, initially appearing on b-sides and compilations, have
been out of the marketplace for decades.
Live at Bogart’s will be
available on CD, first as a limited-edition (1,500 copies) double LP on
translucent blue vinyl, followed by an open-edition on black vinyl
thereafter. The double LP release will include three sides of music,
with a fourth side sporting laser-etched artwork.
Even though the
group lasted for only two albums over four years, their influence has
been as profound as that of any of the bands that influenced Jellyfish
in the first place—all part of a power pop tradition.
In January of this year, Omnivore Recordings released Jellyfish’s debut album Bellybutton and its follow-up Spilt Milk in 180-gram, colored vinyl limited-editions of 1,500 per title, making the only two full-length studio albums in the band’s short, storied history commercially available for the first time in the U.S. on vinyl. The limited editions sold out immediately, but are currently available in an open-edition on 180-gram black vinyl.
Formed in San Francisco by singer/songwriter Andy Sturmer and singer/songwriter Roger Manning, Jellyfish rounded out the initial lineup with guitarist Jason Falkner (The Three O’Clock, The Grays) and Roger’s brother Chris Manning on bass.

After Bellybutton’s
support tour, Falkner and Chris Manning left the band due to creative
differences and exhaustion from life on the road. Jellyfish’s next album
Spilt Milk was created by Andy and Roger with help from then-session men Jon Brion (Fiona Apple, Spoon, Kanye West), Lyle Workman
(Beck, Todd Rundgren) and T-Bone Wolk (Hall & Oates). After one tour
in support of the record, the group disbanded in 1994.
