CHAD SMITH'S BOMBASTIC MEATBATS
Boombastic

Bombastic, funky, sexy and loud – that‘s the sound of the latest album of the drum hero Chad Smith, who is this time around surrounded by „The Meatbats“.

The “Meet The Meatbats,” speaks for itself. Consisting of 10 songs written in the span of a few days at Chad‘s pool house in Malibu, songs including “Need Strange”,“Oops! I Spilled My Beer”,“Battle For Ventura Blvd.”, and the hauntingly beautiful “Night Sweats”, exude a live wire feel, sarcasm, and excitement rarely found in the current world of digitally induced “perfection”. It is instrumental music with a soul and a sense of humor.

The Meatbats‘ sound creates a cutting edge sonic experience with a plethora of infl uences, fusing together styles as diverse as Classic Rock, Old
School Funk, Punk, and 70’s R&B. “It‘s funky, melodic, and compositional. The melody is king.“ (Jeff Kollmann)

“Nothing feels as good as a record cut with four guys recording live together, listening, and playing off of each others riffs. Even without a vocal, you can sing almost everything that everyone played on this record. That is real soul.“ (Ed Roth)
