Meat Puppets' early albums applied punk's loud, fast energy and a free-spirited sense of experimentalism to an ever-evolving mix of bluesy hard rock, high-lonesome twang and homespun psychedelia. Over the years, the band's sound has matured to downplayed, mid-tempo, gently psychedelic Americana. The threesome deliveres it's eclectic iconoclasm with an increasingly sophisticated level of instrumental interplay, highlighted by Curt's inventive guitar runs and his and Cris' rough-hewn vocal harmonies. The trio's dynamic interaction is further reflected in their adrenaline-charged live shows, which are prone to induce delirious sonic highs.
Retribution Gospel Choir plays loud and sings in key. Live, two minute pop songs run into psychedelic improvisations and drum-n-bass-heavy dub. People sometimes think the band is too loud or that they should take turns soloing, but generally, people are pleasantly surprised. Members, Alan Sparhawk and Steve Garrington are also in the band Low. The band has released two tour EPs, but they're sold out. New full-length is out now on Caldo Verde Records and the band is touring the stinkin' world.
