VICE Signs Dark Meat!!

One of Athens' (GA) finest, Dark Meat, a psychedelic orchestra/collective comprised of 17(!) members who describe their music as "THE STOOGES meets CRAZY HORSE with killer Stax / Funeral / Marching band horns, wailing gospel-style female backing vocals, ripping guitar leads and free jazz freakouts" has just been signed by VICE Records (Black Lips, Panthers, Justice, Bloc Party, etc.)! The new album, "Universal Indians" (an ICTH fave!), will be re-released on April 8th with three unreleased bonus tracks, followed by the release of a vinyl edition on April 22nd (it was originally on Orange Twin Records). Dark Meat put on one hell of a live show, so I suggest you check 'em out at of those dates below!
