WHERE FROM:
Chicago, Illinois

WHERE NOW:
The band drifted off in different directions.

DATE FORMED:
1990

HOW FORMED:
From the Chicago musical petri dish.

HIGHLIGHT:
Their music demonstrates that they are not interested in carefully mapped journeys. They are interested in the search itself. They helped put Chicago back on the music-scene map in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

“Most bluesy rock is pure nostalgia, the sound of tourists paying their respects at a museum. Chicago’s indie hoodlums Red Red Meat remind you how filthy the blues can feel, slicing up the lazy sludge of the Rolling Stone’s “Exile on Main Street” and rewiring it with an unhealthy dose of urban malaise…If Tricky were a guitar band, Red Red Meat would be his poison.” – Details
