When it comes to bands that possess, as was said of the Delta Tau Chi fraternity in Animal House, “a long tradition of existence,” original members can be hard to come by. Not so with the Meat Puppets. After years of shifting lineups, the original band is back together and...
The Meat Puppets are back on the road, with all of the original members along for the ride. Curt Kirkwood , Cris Kirkwood , and Derrick Bostrom are joined by Elmo Kirkwood and Ron Stabinsky for an upcoming tour, which will stop in Houston on May 12 at the Heights Theater., “a long tradition of existence,” original members can be hard to come by. Not so with the Meat Puppets.
Speaking from his home in Phoenix, Bostrom scoffs when asked if the band is busy preparing for the upcoming tour. “Hell, we’ve been in tour prep for two years,” he says, referring to the pandemic. “We live in three different states, so we’re mostly enjoying our time off until we get together and have to deal with each other.”
Bands that contain brothers have often encountered a tough road. The Kinks, Oasis, The Allman Brothers, The Everly Brothers, and Kings of Leon all come to mind, as do the Meat Puppets. How does one navigate a safe course in a band with male siblings in its ranks? “Through insults, violence, and avoidance,” Bostrom says, and he doesn’t seem to be totally kidding. “Just like the rest of them,” he adds.
With a lengthy break from the world of rock and roll, Bostrom has attained perspective. “Now I’m getting closer to retirement age, and I want to reclaim that part of my past,” he says. “And since the Meat Puppets are such a national treasure, it’s not that difficult for me to convince the company I work for that it’s worth their while to give me the time off to hit the road.”
