Meat Puppets Perform 'Lake Of Fire' Live at Bing Lounge, Portland
On June 22, 2011, the Meat Puppets performed "Lake of Fire" live at the Bing Lounge in Portland, a notable moment that showcased their enduring musical legacy. By this time, they had released 'Lighter Than Air' in 2009 and were on the heels of their 2011 album 'Rise to Your Knees'. This live recording captures the band's distinctive blend of punk, country, and psychedelic rock, elements that have always set them apart. Interestingly, 'Lake of Fire', written by Curt and Cris Kirkwood, gained additional fame through Nirvana's cover, connecting the Meat Puppets' sound to a wider audience during the '90s grunge explosion. This performance also reflects the band's resilience and ability to adapt over decades, remaining relevant while still holding onto their roots.
