Jo Stanli Walston--sweet but mean singer
Cherilyn diMond--upright bass, more singing, and wisecracks
Peter Stiles --speedmetal mandolin
Bill Anderson --guitarist, songwriter, control freak
Some bands we've been in:
poison 13, ballad shambles, the horsies, joan of arkansas, the danged, wad, wet, cat scientist, big foot chester, neko case and her boyfriends, various bands fronted by jon langford, etc.
Influences
Hmmmm, that's too tough a question. Instead, this are some folks we've covered: George Jones, Ratt, Velvet Underground, Bill Monroe, Daniel Johnson, Madonna, Boyd Rice, Johnny Paycheck, ABBA, Fleetwood Mac... you put it together.
Sounds Like
Turbonegro, but with some girls. And not scandinavian, gay, or junkies. Also, playing bluegrass. OK, maybe more like ABBA. But with more soap opera, fewer instruments, and no blondes.

The Meat Purveyors started playing together in 1996 and have put out five records on Bloodshot: Sweet in the Pants (1998), More Songs About Buildings and Cows (1999), All Relationships Are Doomed to Fail (2002), Pain By Numbers (2004), and Someday Soon Things Will Be Much Worse! (2006).
Along the way we've toured all over the US and Canada, and even Norway. We have met a shitload of cool people everywhere we've gone.
Shows??? Are you playing again?! Ok, so here's the deal. This KS gal will be wanderin' around Texas for the next week for 7 or 8 days (Austin 4/16), and it would be extremely exciting if y'all were playing somewhere. I'd be a very happy girl. I miss Meat!
well, i don't insist, but i do ask most politely. it's my bestest, most favoritest TMP song ever. i'll just purr up a storm if you'll put it back up so i can put it on my page again.
Awwwwh man, the song is so, so sweet, I love it! It's so crazy. Nylon is where it's at, ha. I'm just noticing here that I can make a play list on my page. I will add it. You guy's need to put the we kill evil song and other sundry political tunes up, in spirit of the election. And yes! TMP needs a SXSW smackdown for sure next year. I will demand it from Rob and Nan. Perhaps I should buy my plane ticket out there now while they're still affordable. Hmmm.
