Vice Records' newest addition, Dark Meat, a 17-piece psychedelic rock collective from Athens, Georgia sound like the Stooges meets Crazy Horse meets Albert Ayler -- double drums, shredding guitars, jazz bursts, gospel vocals and marching band horns! Dark Meat lives together, eats together and makes music together, the true meaning of collective - several members live in Orange Twin, a 100-acre sustainable-living eco-village, where members farm, do bio-diesel conversion and host shows at their amphitheater.

The album, Universal Indians, is out April 8th via Vice Records. Take a listen to "Freedom Ritual," the first release off Universal Indians, below. Keep your eyes out for a review of this disc right here on Everythingrock in the next week.click: mp3

Dark Meat's past and current lineup include members from Of Montreal, Elf Power, The Instruments, We Versus Shark, Gnarls Barkley and more.

For three years, Dark Meat has thrilled crowds with earth-shaking, hallelujah-roaring performances throughout the South, now they're taking the party across the country with a massive 66 show, 50 date spring tour - in a bright green, 35-foot 1972 GMC coach tour bus no less! Don't miss the party!
