Tried to find all evidence of its existence on youtube recently. Then moved on to album reviews.
Almost our full set from Primavera is online

First Song:
“In the Beginning” (Written by Jeffrey Lewis, Kimya Dawson, Karl Blau, Jack Lewis and Anders Griffen)

Not sure of the set order after that.

Oh and that Pitchfork Review:
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/14106-the-bundles/
Personally I think this is one of the albums I’m most proud of playing and being a part of.
Recorded/Engineered and “Produced” by Karl Blau at Dub Narcotic, Olympia Washington. It was a dream come true to record there and release something on K records. I even got to draw the K shield on the back of the album.
