Meat Puppets

In the live recording from November 30, 1981, at Target Studio in San Francisco, the Meat Puppets were just hitting their stride. They had released their debut album, 'Meat Puppets' in 1982, which showcased their unique blend of punk rock and country influences. Before this recording, they were still exploring their sound and establishing their identity in the burgeoning alternative music scene. An interesting tidbit about this performance is that it captures their raw energy and improvisational spirit, key traits that would define their early work. The band's offbeat humor and eclectic style stand out in this session, highlighting their feelings of alienation during the performance, which they jokingly referred to as a kind of unwelcoming vibe from the studio. This moment is not just a snapshot of their career; it's a testament to their journey, balancing quirky creativity with the pressures of the music industry.
