As written on paper, on the net, on toilet walls....
Ex-Ikara Colt bassist Tracy Bellaries, Blood Valley front-man Alex Lindsay and ex-Beachbuggy drummer Aido, rise from the ashes of their old bands to form Mystery Meat.
A heavier Ikara Colt with scuzzy guitars and ear shattering drums, this band are most certainly not chicken.
The Meat deal in rock of the messed-up, heavy, low slung variety. Hell, theyre good at it. Theirs is music played for the simple pleasure of fucking up your eardrums.
First amongst equals. I thought Mystery Meat were so good they inspired me to forgo my traditional burger van double cheese and egg on the way home
The band have been described as a heavier Ikara Colt. The truth is, they pull together the best bits from each of their former outfits and rack up the volume for good measure.Mystery Meat. What celestial punk/rock coupling spawned such a refreshingly trashy, invigorating injection of harder and sleazier rock so far removed from any of their wannabe contemporaries?
Mystery Meat are a tyrannical trio, they are nasty, sexy and fucking loud. John Kennedy has already been playing a demo of live favourite "Stain Goddess" on XFM and more recently Mystery Meat's debut offering, "Chewing Gum" released late 2006 on London independent Delorso.
"Fuck yeah! Block-rockin' beats, foxy bass player, a strat, and a wizard costume. What's not to love? If I was still over there I'd want to produce the album!" Steve Mack (That Petrol Emotion)
Artrocker says "Mystery Meat are pretty much rock n roll incarnate"
