595 is a live album by Karate, released on Southern Records on October 8, 2007. The album is so named because this is a recording of their 595th live show. All told, 695 shows were performed over the band's 12-year career.[4]
In 2007, the former band members of Karate decided to release a live album. Often, Karate was sent live material from their own performances, usually from sound technicians. This happened also after their performance on May 5, 2003 at Stuk, Leuven, Belgium, while touring to support Some Boots. Karate was so astonished by the quality of the recording they decided to release this 'posthumous' live album.[citation needed]
