Ryko proudly kicks off the re-launch of the Ryko Analogue Vinyl Series in February 2010 with the remastered release of the 1984 classic, Meat Puppets II. Originally on SST Records, this album stunningly captures how Curt Kirkwood, brother of Cris Kirkwood, and Derrick Bostrom experimented with acid rock and country western sounds. Curt, Cris and Derrick formed a band called Atomic Bomb Club in the late 1970s in Phoenix, Arizona, and decided to rename themselves the Meat Puppets in 1980. Their early hardcore punk songs caught the attention of SST Records, who released their debut eponymous album. After two breakups in 1996 and 2002, the Meat Puppets re-formed in 2006. The new lineup, comprised of the Kirkwood Brothers along with various guest drummers, continues to tour extensively and record.
