Meatraffle - Smallest Gang [Summer Holiday Video]

Meatraffle had big plans to make an epic video with co-collaborator Niall Trask involving ice rinks, kids, and baldy wigs... Unfortunately everyone pissed off on holiday (apart from Baby Jayzus) so we ended up with this... Thanks to Clams Baker of Warmduscher for the edit whilst on holiday! Meatraffle are thrilled to announce they will be releasing ’Base and Superstructure’, their third studio album on Blang Records on . Preorder here: Recorded during lockdown, produced & mixed by Meatraffle keyboardist Chris OC, Dante Traynor (SWEAT, Fat White Family ’Feet’), additional mixing by Angelica Björnsson (Hi - Texas feat. Wu Tang Clan) and mastered by Dean Honer (Eccentronic Research Council, I Monster, The Moonlandingz), ‘Base and Superstructure’ marks a new sonic departure for the band rightly acknowledged as godfathers of the now infamous South London scene, centred around the Windmill in Brixton. The band play two London shows to celebrate the release on Friday 29th September at Windmill Brixton and Saturday 30th September at The George Tavern with a full UK tour in February 2024. London show tickets available here: Founded in 2014, Meatraffle have toured extensively across the UK and Europe as both a headline act and support to the likes of Fat White Family, Sleaford Mods and Warmduscher. Festival appearances include SXSW, Green Man and Liverpool Psych Fest. In addition to their previous two LPs (’Hi Fi Classics’ and ’Bastard Music’), the band have released singles on Dan Carey’s Speedy Wunderground and Moshi Moshi, plus numerous remixes including ’Meatraffle on the Moon’ by the one and only Andrew Weatherall. The band have also played sessions for Marc Riley (BBC 6Music) plus regular plays from other 6Music DJs including Iggy Pop, Gideon Coe and Amy Lamé. “We were looking for labels for a while, sending out demos to small ‘indie’ labels to which we often had the response, “we really like it but we’re not signing anyone at the moment”, which feels like the new “don’t call us we’ll call you!”... We knew we had a good record so didn’t get knocked back and knew it would be a climb as many of these small and large ‘indie’ or ‘alternative’ labels can be even more conservative than the mainstream, I guess having less money and therefore having to ‘play it safe’. We bumped into Blang one night at The George Tavern and instantly had a good feeling about them…and guess what? They loved the music!” - Meatraffle frontman, Zsa Zsa Sapien. Genre-bending independent label Blang Records is a wildly non-commercial label firmly rooted in the DIY/anything goes attitude of punk and antifolk, and has remained consistent in its commitment to releasing outsider music by the likes of David Cronenberg’s Wife, Jack Medley’s Secure Men, Brix & The Extricated, Milk Kan, Thomas Truax and many more.
