The Meat Department

Phoenix anti-folk

About Me

One of the strangest coincidences of a lifetime found the two members of The Meat Department patronizing the same Phoenix bar on the same night two years after their first brief acquaintance in Baltimore, MD at a Ween concert. During the first weeks or their growing friendship the two musical free-agents would attend open mic nights covering Ween songs they both knew. It wouldn't be long, however before the two discovered in each other an explosive artistic compatibility. In two months time, The Meat Department had a full set of original music and were gigging with some of the best bands in Phoenix.
