Meat Puppets

In the summer of 2011, the Meat Puppets showcased their evolving sound at The Independent in San Francisco, a venue perfect for intimate yet energetic performances. Leading up to this live recording, the band had just released their album 'Lollipop' in 2009, which marked a significant return to the music scene after a hiatus. This album featured a more polished sound while still capturing their distinctive blend of punk rock and country influences. Interestingly, the Meat Puppets are known for their ties to the grunge movement, especially through their collaboration with Nirvana, who famously covered their songs. By the time of this performance, the band was diving back into their roots, bringing a mix of nostalgia and fresh energy. It's kind of fascinating to see how they’ve evolved over the years, yet the heart of their music remains true.
