WHO?
The Brothers
Formed in 1990 by four friends at Ithaca College, Brother Meat is a blend of 90's funk rock paired with straight ahead loud guitar rock'n'roll. Brother Meat toured extensively throughout the Northeastern U.S. during the 1990s and played their final show at the Haunt in Ithaca, NY on August 23, 1997. The band has regrouped for several reunion gigs over the years, and recently the band has been getting together now and then to record new music.
