Meat Puppets

Alt-rock pioneers the Meat Puppets have never been afraid to experiment during their impossible to pigeonhole 10-album career. Backwater bluesy chord progressions, country rock rhythms, 60’s psychedelia, and punk rock aggression have all seen service, often twisted by the band’s wry and offbeat sense of humor. Unfortunately for their fervent fans though, aside from an album of live tracks, there have been no new Puppets to play with since 1995’s NO JOKE release.

Well all that changes September 26th, when the Austin-based quartet release GOLDEN LIES. The fresh album will feature new talent as well as new tracks, with guitarist/vocalist (and co-founder) Curt Kirkwood remaining on, but seeing new members Kyle Ellison taking over on guitar, Shandon Sahm taking over on drums, and Andrew Duplantis on bass.
