One of the more notable groups on the roster of [l=SST Records] (who released most of their early albums), the Meat Puppets could be broadly classified as punk rock, but like most of their SST peers, the Meat Puppets established their own unique style, blending punk with country and psychedelic rock, and featuring Curt's warbling vocals.

in 2007, with the wayward absence of bassist cris kirkwood a hiccup since passed, the meat puppets simultaneously reformed and pledged a singular fervent purpose. complete resurrection. that's no small order. this is, after all, a band that stands out as one of the most illuminous sparks highlighting the first, and most overtly accomplished, coming of american indie rock, those golden and precious years lying roughly between 1979 and 1985. an era so filled with purity, it reigns supreme to this day with an embarrassment of musical riches. many of them straight from the fingers of kirkwood / kirkwood / bostrom. always recognized as an extremely dexterous and deft live act, the puppets used 2008 to continue to stretch out the new line up (with ted marcus now a full time replacement for founding drummer derrick bostrom). the band joined built to spill, and later, stone temple pilots, for well received jaunts across the us. the puppets also toured europe, and took part in each of the three 2008 all tomorrow's parties festivals, performing meat puppets 'ii' as part of atp's 'don't look back series'. by year's end, the shows were almost 100% acoustic. almost because curt was playing a gibson hummingbird plugged into his pedal board, allowing him to work his effects just like an electric guitar. the simplicity of the set up belied the sort of arresting dynamics that muse and radiohead aim to capture, albeit by spending tens of thousands of quid in arena production. signed in early 2008 to ultra-artist friendly megaforce records, the puppets found themselves once again at work exploring the vast creative landscape that has defined the band since it burst forth with its majestic debut for sst, meat puppets. in between last year's tour outings, the puppets wrote and recorded a new album, 'sewn together', the trio's second full length in little less than two years. for the new album, curt and cris chose a home town studio that offered analog process. to help add purity. and with production helmed by curt, creative freedom arrived du jour. the best friend of artistry - spontaneity - governed.
