Cris Kirkwood

Meat Puppets’ original lineup recently released their first album together since 1995, Dusty Notes, and their tour is about to hit the NYC-area this week. Ahead of the shows, we caught up with Curt Kirkwood…

Cris talks about Phoenix punk OGs Exterminators’ first-ever LP (that he produced and plays bass on) and upcoming first live show since the ’70s, plus Meat Puppets stuff, Nirvana, Grateful Dead, The Feederz, Destruction Unit (who are named after an Exterminators song), and MUCH more.

Mike Watt’s releasing a live album of his 1995 tour with Dave Grohl, Pat Smear, Eddie Vedder, and William Goldsmith. In semi-related news, Exterminators, whose members went on to play in The Germs, The Gun Club, and more, reunited and Meat Puppets’ Cris Kirkwood is in the new lineup.
