 Meat Puppets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Meat Puppets burgeoning musicality led to more intricate and melodic efforts on 1985's Up on the Sun, which was a cohesive collage of songs that further demonstrated their abilities to capture a sound that had all of the wonder of the desert.
Their early works (the In A Car EP and Meat Puppets LP) were wholeheartedly punk, with vocals so feral in their delivery they were often indecipherable, but ultimately humorous and ingenious once discovered.
Meat Puppets are a three-piece band, formed in January 1980, in Paradise Valley, Arizona.

The Meat Puppets were one of the first punk acts to inject different musical styles into their sound, something that was an absolute no-no at the time -- especially the sparkling...
Although the Meat Puppets would later become best known for their intriguing blend of country, punk, rock, folk, psychedelia, and whatever else they could toss in their musical blender, the trio's 1982 self-titled full-length debut was a furious hardcore album.
Although the Meat Puppets' previous album, 1991's Forbidden Places, was one of the Arizona trio's finest, the band wasn't completely happy with the album's sound, courtesy of longtime Dwight Yoakam producer Pete Anderson.

 Meat Puppets
But that is not really a satisfactory description of the music - the meat puppets play a wide variety of mind-bending sounds from hardcore punk to country rock to acid-induced trippy bluegrass/folk music to arena-type Van Halen-ish heavy rock and roll.
For the uninitiated, the Meat Puppets are a power trio from the Arizona desert who grew out of the early 80s punk scene and managed to survive the subsequent decade of bad music surrounding them to come out strong in the Grunge revolution.
This album marks the so-called "ZZ-Top phase" of the meat puppets libretto.

 VH1.com : Meat Puppets : Biography
Unlike the Kirkwoods' earlier bands, the Meat Puppets were directly inspired by punk rock; they were so committed to keeping the music punk that they refused to rehearse.
Golden Lies, the Meat Puppets' first new album in five years, was released in the fall of 2000.
The Meat Puppets didn't develop their own distinctive voice until their second album, Meat Puppets II, which was released in 1984.

 Meat Puppets, You Love Me EP
The Meat Puppets were chief songwriter Curt Kirkwood on guitar and lead vocals, brother Cris Kirkwood on bass and backing vocals, and drummer Derrick Bostrom.
The Meat Puppets formed in 1980 in Tempe, Arizona, and yes, initially they were part of the punk scene.
The jaw-harp and fiddle are new instruments for the Meat Puppets and give the tune a fun, country-shuffle feel; it's too bad they're not in the service of a song with actual words.

 TrouserPress.com :: Meat Puppets
The Puppets' first album (a full-length disc that spins at 45 rpm) similarly mixes intriguing instrumental experimentation and a bit of restrained country into sloppy blurs of noisy punk.
The title track is a lovely, contemplative folk song with an airy vocal and a skipping guitar riff that repeats throughout.
That may have accounted for the record's dim chart showing, and the Puppets' return to cult status on their way to dissolution.

The meat puppets were a greatly undervalued band off the 80's and this cd shows off some of their best work.
Although i'd say this should be your first Meat Puppet album, i would'nt say it is their best work (a close 2nd to 'Up On The Sun', which is, in it's own way, the ultimate 'chill' album).
Meat Puppets 2 is, simply, a mind expanding, and then mind blowing album.

 CREEM ONLINE: Meat Puppets — Classic Puppets
The Meat Puppets are one of the great examples of that vein of punk, and the new compilation on Rykodisc, Classic Puppets, gives a fitting overview of the best of this band's oeuvre.
This sticker has a picture of punk rock saint D. Boon with the statement "Punk rock is what we made it to be." That seems to be a fitting manifesto for what the best of '80s punk was all about.
For the Meat Puppets, that path led to soaring country-fried guitar licks coupled with jarring rhythms and occasionally tuneless vocals that made the whole thing sound that much more human.

 Paradise: Land of the Meat Puppets
The Meat Puppets' early albums made Kurt Cobain want to play music, and when he invited the band to join him on three Puppets covers on Nirvana's 1994 MTV Unplugged, the multiplatinum record earned the now 41-year-old Kirkwood "shitloads of money--millions," he says.
Cris' problems have kept the Meat Puppets--revered as part of the thriving '80s punk scene that included SST labelmates Husker Du and the Minutemen--from playing music.
By the end I was onstage smashing one of their guitars to shreds." Stone Temple Pilots guitarist Dean DeLeo, who toured with the Meat Puppets in 1994, says their music "can be fragile and tender, or hard and dirgelike.

 JR.com: Meat Puppets - Golden Lies in Music: Alternative:
The Meat Puppets first album with their new lineup (including drummer Shandon Sahm, son of Tex-Mex great Doug Sahm, to whom the album is dedicated) is, as you would expect, a great big loud guitar blowout.
Formed in Arizona by brothers Curt and Cris Kirkwood and their friend Derrick Bostrom, the Meat Puppets combined punk, blues, folk, and country music to bizarre yet entertaining effect.
Shortly before this breakthrough, Puppets fan Kurt Cobain invited the Kirkwoods to play three of their songs (from MEAT PUPPETS II) with Nirvana on the renowned UNPLUGGED session.

 Meat Puppets: Golden Lies: Pitchfork Review
In fact, it's questionable whether the words "Meat Puppets" should even appear on this album's artwork, since the artist behind it is the only remaining member of the band's original lineup, guitarist Curt Kirkwood.
On early Meat Puppets records, he alternated between an unsteady croon and a throaty mumble.
Contrary to the conventional wisdom about commercial breakthroughs by cult favorites, 1994's Too High to Die was actually one of the best Meat Puppets albums in years at the time of its release.

I Meat Puppets pubblicano infatti Mirage (SST), un album che ha la funzione di trasformare le loro armonie in pure astrazioni, in bozzetti surreali.
Songs abandoned the punk frenzy and adopted a transcendental (or, simply put, lazy) tone, became more hypnotic than aggressive, incorporated jazz and raga elements and guitarist Curt Kirkwood developed a style that was a synthesis of country, blues, Jerry Garcia's galactic trance and Neil Young's neurotic fury, baked at the scorching sunshine of the South.

 Meat Puppets - Alive in the Nineties
As the band continued into the '90s their reputation was sealed when Nirvana burst into the mainstream with a sound that appropriated many of the Meat Puppets sounds and vocal inflections.
Merging influences from rock, folk, punk, blues, and country, the Kirkwood brothers cemented a style all of their own, and stood apart from the fast punk stylings of their contempories.
Included here is extensive concert footage of the band, including appearances supporting Nirvana and Stone Temple Pilots, an acoustic show from New York's Knitting Factory, extensive interviews with the band, and testimonials from such luminaries as Thurston Moore, Mike Watt, Flea, and Paul Leary.

 Elastic Puppets / Elastica and Meat Puppets at the Fillmore, reviewed
Though the two bands got famous for very different things -- the Meat Puppets for appearing on 1994's Nirvana's Unplugged in New York and Elastica for its debut self-titled confectionery pop-new wave album -- their back-to-back performances at the Fillmore last night seemed perfectly matched.
Vigorous and spirited, and looking way more punk than put-together pop, they began with a cover of a Wire song, and moved on to a mix of hits from their first album ("Line Up," "Stutter," "Connection") and catchy tunes off their recently released The Menace.
So I was surprised and thrilled to learn that the band had been reincarnated, and its new album, Golden Lies, is due out next week!
