Meat Hooks

Saw the mighty Meat Puppets at the Knitting Crappery last night. It couldn't have felt any less like a reunion show. They are as tight as ever, and look and sound like they never stopped playing. Cris and new drummer Ted Marcus fell right into the pocket. Great setlist; it's obvious the brothers still have a blast playing these songs.

Tonight's the second night of two. Tickets are here.

Here's the classic "Get On Down" video (from Mirage).

For the next 48 hours or so, I'll be immersing myself in all things Meat Puppetty.

The official band site, maintained by original drummer Derrick Bostrom, with links to amazing rarities and live show boots.

Derrick Bostrom has a weblog of his own.

Peter at Wohlers dot org maintains an invaluable site bursting over with live MP3s.

Scott Mervis did a great piece on the band in Pittsburgh Post-Gazette last week...

And followed it up with a review of their gig at Mr Small's.

If anyone finds last night's setlist, please email it to me or drop a hyperlink in the comments.

Cris Kirkwood summed it up best last night by simply saying, "It's been too long, it really has."
