The music group played just seventeen concert events total throughout their tenure, existing mainly as a documenting project aside from a single brief tour in nov 2008. Functioning Pollard’s familiar but skewed undertake past garage area and pop designs, Boston Spaceships released Dark brown Submarine in 2008 and Planets Are Blasted and No to 99 in ’09 2009, all on Pollard’s Led by Voices imprint.
