The group's original lineup was Curt Kirkwood, his brother Cris Kirkwood, and Derrick Bostrom. The Kirkwood brothers met Bostrom while attending Brophy Prep High School in Phoenix. The three then moved to Tempe, Arizona, where the Kirkwood brothers purchased two adjacent houses, one of which had a shed in the back where they regularly practiced. Meat Puppets started as a punk rock band, but like most of their labelmates on SST Records, established their own unique style, blending punk with country and psychedelic rock, and featuring Curt's warbling vocals. The band later gained significant exposure when the Kirkwood brothers served as guest musicians on Nirvana's MTV Unplugged performance in 1993 for three Meat Puppets songs sung by fan Kurt Cobain. The band's eighth studio album Too High to Die was their most successful release and featured their best-known hit "Backwater". The band broke up twice, in 1996 and 2002, but reunited again in 2006.
