Meatmen

Live Review at Fortune Sound Club - August 9, 2012



The compass was dialed in on “all points” punk and the night was brought to you by the letter “C”.

Controversial - Meatmen are as big as frontman's Tesco Vee's inflated appendage and after 20 straight classics of controversy, yes the set list was long. Then the words “the Dwarves are the second best band in the world, we are the Meatmen and you suck” emanate out of the PA. Microphone in hand, eyebrow raised and if you know the Dwarves, it's pretty clear what kind of night you were in for. They've been laying down the bait since 1981. Pass the salt.
