<\/div>\n

The original lineup of the Meat Puppets<\/a> \u2013 vocalist-guitarist Curt Kirkwood, bassist-vocalist Chris Kirkwood and drummer Derrick Bostrom \u2013 have recorded a new album, Dusty Notes<\/em>, and set tour dates for a run of U.S. shows this spring. \u201cNine Pins,\u201d the first track from the new LP, which is due out March 8th, is a country-rock rave-up with rattling acoustic guitar, an upbeat rhythm and Curt\u2019s lyrics about the moon shining down on a little piece of ground. The group previously released another country-tinged number, \u201cWarranty.\u201d<\/a> It\u2019s the first time this lineup has recorded together since 1995\u2019s No Joke!<\/em><\/p>\n

The album will be available in a variety of formats. On March 1st, the band will release a \u201cbootleg\u201d version of the record on black vinyl in a white jacket, limited to 300 copies. Arizona and Las Vegas record chain Zia will be offering a pressing of the vinyl with \u201cswamp and olive\u201d splatter coloring on March 8th, a date that will also see the regular swamp and olive release.<\/p>\n

The lineup first reunited in 2017 for a performance at the Arizona Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame, where they played \u201cLake of Fire\u201d \u2013 the song they played with Nirvana on that band\u2019s Unplugged<\/em> episode \u2013 as well as \u201cPlateau\u201d and \u201cBackwater.\u201d \u201cIt was so intense that even I couldn\u2019t deny it,\u201d Bostrom, who stopped playing with the band after their 1996 breakup and did not participate in further reunions, said in a statement. \u201cI remember why we did this. It was magical.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group will be hitting the road in April for a month and a half of gigs. Tickets go on sale on January 18th.<\/p>\n
