Meat Puppets

Always recognized as an extremely dexterous and deft live act, the Meat Puppets used 2008 to continue to stretch out their new line up (with Ted Marcus now a full time replacement for founding drummer Derrick Bostrom). 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 Sewn Together, the trio's second full-length album in little less than two years.

True to their nature, Sewn Together is a record that is brilliantly framed by the band's sometimes folksy, always fluid wanderings. It is what makes the Puppets musings so daunting to classify. They ambitiously dart the melodic spectrum between buoyant pop structure like album-opener "Sewn Together" and the grand sweep of "Clone," two of the precision-perfect gems that will come to represent this record as a keeper.

With the album released, the band now is looking ahead to extensive road work celebrating the new record, but as with every Puppets' tour, the show will be certain to range over the course of performance afforded it by the Puppets' endearingly adventurous career.
