While Dark Meat generally promise a stage setup of at least 17 pieces, the Athens, Georgia, collective is known to convene even more epic assemblies (check out that band shot). Blending deep psychedelia with garage-rock riffs, gravelly hems and haws, and the skronks of a full brass band, the group — featuring ex-members of Elephant 6 mainstays Elf Power and Circulatory System — offers a dark, slushy counterpoint to the Polyphonic Spree's never-ending parade of sunshine. Vice Records recently released an expanded package of its 2006 debut, Universal Indians, prepping the way for tonight's grand processional.
