Fresh from a surprise appearance with Army of Anyone at Austin's La Zona Rosa, the Meat Puppets will play a set at SXSW on Saturday, immediately following punk rock icon Pete Shelly and the Buzzcocks on Emo's outdoor stage. Since it's the first time the Meat Puppets have played a full set in years, this promises to be one of SXSW07's most buzzed about sets.
One of the founding Puppets, Curt Kirkwood, sat down and talked to us on the phone about their upcoming SXSW gig, Kurt Cobain, Jerry Garcia, the Puppets' forthcoming album. and Burmese pop classics of the 70s. To listen to the interview click on the audio player link under the fold.
