Sunday 16 June 2019 8368

Meat Puppets’ story begins with three young guys, with a love for music, who are immersed in the psychedelic drug culture in the 1970s in Arizona. They found their sound in punk rock and they became one of the most important bands of the American underground scene. Meat Puppets soon became mainstream rock stars and even toured with the band Nirvana. During the legendary MTV Unplugged in 1993 in New York, Kurt Cobain pulled the ‘Meat’ brothers on stage to play the songs ‘Plateau’, ‘Oh, Me’ and ‘Lake of Fire’. And on June 16, 2019 these icons will play at Paard als Heroes.
