Meat Puppets In-store

Wow...the Meat Puppets played 50 (!) minutes of scorching country fried acid rock last night at the Electric Fetus. If 50 minutes isn't a record for an in-store, I would like to know what is. In addition to the quantity, the quality from the grey bearded trio was amazing. Curt Kirkwood made his Gibson Hummingbird Acoustic sound more soulful and menacing than guys a 1/3 his age could. The guy is a monster on guitar, and a hell of a singer to boot. Cris Kirkwood (who gave an amusing interview on KFAN this morning) showed the high cost of his low living, but seemed joyed to be playing the Puppets great songs.

If last night was any indication, fans in St. Cloud are in for a treat with the bands in-store there tonight.
