The Meat Purveyors - Pain by Numbers (2004)

Austin, Texas bluegrass / alternative country band. The band broke up in 2008 and has rarely performed since.

On Pain By Numbers, Austin, TX's own MEAT PURVEYORS have distilled their attack down to the essentials: three parts liquid nitro, three parts stare-into-the-bottom-of-the-glass heartbreak, and four parts Let's Take It Outside, Short Pants. "These loyal deconstructionists are a trashy treasure... TMP mine their musical riches from the middle ground between pure and absurd. They love bluegrass enough to kick the dust off the form, but they don't wear goofy hick hats or play junkyard appliances."
