Electric Review


Live Fast Die Sticky!....

.. ..

This motto should be shouted from the gum stained streets, where amongst the graveyard of cigarette butts that once kissed the lips of an addict, our doomed youth crawl destroyed by a wail of hipster vanity and hairspray. ....

Uncle Meat and her Highway Children strive to move the music scene away from the latest primark trends and into the faces of those who are ready to stand up, drown in the blood of love and be real human beings.....

From the streets of ..Amsterdam.. to the squats of ....Manchester.... - they’ve trailed the road less travelled – in cowboy boots and doc’s, hitting the glock and ready to rock, not in your new wave indie manner, why be a cog in the machine when you can be a spanner.....

It’s a psychedelic circus of folk, blues, funk, punk, rock ‘n’ roll, poetry in motion, sailing the seven seas, mushroom and moonboot dreams under trees.....

A declaration of inspiration!....

Having found each other in the throws of fate, just over a year ago, this transatlantic five some are already voted one of the top 3 bands in ....Manchester.........

Gigging seven days a week, busking for their daily bread, with a prolific portfolio of over forty songs, Uncle Meat are preparing to embark on their second European tour this summer, with sights of ..Japan.. set for spring 2010, followed by the shores of ....America.... later in the year.....

Their stage performance is a startling hybrid of surrealistic fiction and B list cult horror movie vision that certainly leaves you screaming Aaarrrgghh for Doctor Death.....
