Meat Puppets to resume touring next month
Meat Puppets have announced plans to embark on U.S. headlining club tour next month, according to tour organizers. The group is touring in support of its latest release, “Golden Lies” (Breaking Records).
On Jan. 18, the group is scheduled to begin its tour in New Orleans. Five Florida dates, two Georgia dates and one South Carolina date follow before the group ends the month in North Carolina on Jan. 31.
February’s itinerary currently contains four stops that begin with a Feb. 2 show in Virginia, and include performances in Philadelphia and New York City. A Feb. 15 show in Indianapolis is the last date on the group’s current roster. More dates are expected, according to the group's official website.
Earlier this month, the group finished a brief, five-date club tour that began in late November.
“Golden Lies” was released in September, and is the follow up to the group’s 1995 album “No Joke.” “Too High to Die” (London), released in 1994, is the group’s most commercially successful album to date. It featured the hit single “Backwater,” which helped garner the album gold status from the Recording Industry Association of America for shipping 500,000 copies.
Meat Puppets formed in 1980. Frontman Curt Kirkwood is the only remaining original member.
