A brief meaty history:-A year after forming in 1973 Pontypool MP Leo Abse tried to have TEAM MEAT banned from the UK stating that 'pop music is one thing but anthems about necrophillia are another' with their gory and exstravegant onstage show and 'songs about necrophillia' TEAM MEAT enjoyed a popular stint in the publics eye. That is until their 'more experimental' sophomore effort bombed and they lost favour with the listening public. Then in 1986 they released their masterpiece 'Reign in Meat' which although it got them back in the public eye was rejected by distributors CBS and met with huge public protests. Though this was mainly because of songs about Nazi madmen and satanism. Also in 1986 the MEAT were taken to court by the PRMC (parent music resource center) under the claim we were 'distributing harmful material to minors'! In the late eighties and early ninties many shows were marred by the presence of police enforcement, which more than often resulted in riots and quantum amounts of violence. At the 1992 MTV2 awards the MEAT confronted Kurt Cobain and Courtney shrieking "Tell your bitch to shut up Cobain", this was later followed by a year of depression and drug and alcohol abuse, with the MEAT claiming to be on heorine whilst pregnant. The following year TEAM MEAT were arrested on suspicion of church burning in Norway. After being cleared of the previous offence and after a brief stint in rehab, the MEAT were again arrested under a murder charge, which led to torries campaigning for our deportation, being thrown out of hotels and the Daily Star printing the headline "Kick those evil bastards out!". After being aqquited of such heinous crimes TEAM MEAT dropped the 'MEATY' from their name (previously known as TEAM MEATY MEAT) and dabbled in the porn industry. In early 1996 TEAM MEAT were again arrested under the 1839 profane representation act for wearing Cradle of Filth T shirts. The MEAT went away for 4 years only to reemerge in 2000 with the controversial MEATENNIUM, the same year TEAM MEATS mother sued us for slander and Peter Tratchell of gay rights group OutRage! described our Brit nomination as the moral equivalent of "honouring a ku klux klan member'. Since then we've stayed relatively underground fronting numerous sideprojects and writing hits for the likes of Lindsay Lohan, the Artic Monkeys and Simple Plan. But now after a few years in a hole listening only to Pink Grease, Help She Can't Swim!, The Blood Brothers, Blackwire and Performance, The MEAT will rise again bringing with us more controversy than your puny imaginations can possibly imagine.
All our love THE MEAT X X X
