With a career that has spanned four decades, the Meat Puppets have witnessed countless musical movements and fads come and go, but despite it all, have stuck to their guns and retained a dedicated fan base all over the world, including those who have awaited their return to Australian shores.

Having already announced shows at Melbourne and Sydney’s Cherryrock’014 and in Hobart, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth, these will be Meat Puppets first Australian shows in over 20 years! The band have added two more shows on their upcoming Australian tour, with Melbourne’s Ding Dong Lounge hosting two special shows on Tuesday 27th & Wednesday 28th May.
Cris Kirkwood has been creating art for decades, whether it is musical art or visions on canvas, his unique eye view has a texture all it’s own. Cris will bring a 30+ piece collection of his Art to exhibit at Ding Dong Lounge on Tuesday 27th May. There will also be an opportunity to meet Meat Puppets at a ‘Meet-n-greet’ at the venue – an extremely rare opportunity to see all the different layers that make up Meat Puppets! Tickets only available on the door – for just $20.00

The following night, the band will bring the full Meat Puppets live experience to the stage of Ding Dong Lounge on Wednesday 28th May.
