MEAT PUPPETS JOIN FERGIE & MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE

MEAT PUPPETS JOIN FERGIE & MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
FOR 2008 CIRCLE K TEMPE MUSIC FESTIVAL

The Meat Puppets, a born and bred Phoenix-based group who have been credited with inspiring bands such as Nirvana and Soundgarden, have been added to the rock-solid lineup of the 2008 Circle K Tempe Music Festival, Arizona’s largest music festival. This year, the award-winning event, which is being headlined by Fergie, My Chemical Romance and Puddle of Mudd, will take place on Friday, March 28 and Saturday, March 29 at Tempe Beach Park. Tickets are limited and on sale now through Ticketmaster and Live Nation. The Meat Puppets will play on Saturday.

The core of the Meat Puppets is Curt and Cris Kirkwood, a pair of brothers born and raised in Phoenix. As teenagers, the Kirkwoods played in local rock & roll bands, primarily playing mainstream rock and hard rock. After graduating from Brophy, the brothers formed the Meat Puppets in 1980 with drummer Derrick Bostrom. Unlike the Kirkwoods' earlier bands, the Meat Puppets were directly inspired by punk rock; they were so committed to keeping the music punk that they refused to rehearse. Out of all of the bands that made SST Records a towering force in the American underground during the mid-'80s, the Meat Puppets lasted the longest, surviving where other bands fell apart. Not only do they play hard, loud, and fast, but they also have elements of the blues-rock of ZZ Top, the ambling folk-rock of the Grateful Dead, and Neil Young's country-rock and hard rock. As they grew older, the band has matured musically, developing an accomplished instrumental technique and moving closer to the traditional hard rock that was always underneath their punk. But they never quite abandoned their punk roots, even when they briefly broke into the mainstream in the early '90s.

Now in its 6th year, the Circle K Tempe Music Festival has grown to be more than music and is the largest music festival in Arizona. This year, the event boasts three stages of entertainment featuring national, regional and local acts including Fergie, My Chemical Romance, Puddle of Mudd, Cowboy Mouth, the Chris Parker Project, Dorsey and many more. The Big Bang Dueling Pianos will also have their own stage in the thick of the crowd at this year’s event on both days where they will be entertaining the crowd between sets.

The event headliners this year will be My Chemical Romance on Friday and Fergie on Saturday, with additional acts being named each week leading up to the big event.

“We are stepping it up this year in a big way with our headliners and “more than music attractions,” said Ken Koziol, co-founder of the Tempe Music Festival. “The Superbowl and FBR set the bar very high for 2008 – a bar we fully intend to meet with our festival.”
The 6TH Annual Circle K Tempe Music Festival is being held March 28 and 29 at Tempe Beach Park and boasts three stages of entertainment featuring national, regional and local acts. The event will also host its annual “Garage Band Competition” sponsored by SRP, Fender Musical Instrument Corporation and Cox Communications, where high school and college-aged bands from across Arizona will compete for scholarships, all new instruments from Fender, and the opportunity to open for the event headliners.
In addition to the 30-plus musical acts performing on the three stages over the weekend, the event has come to be known as much more than music with some of the most unique attractions Arizona has ever seen.
These include:
· The Dillard’s Rock’n’Roll Fashion Show
· The Rock Star Energy Drink Extreme Sports demonstrations including BMX bike, skateboard and much more
· The Land Shark Beach Lounge
· The Bud Light Sports Bar
· The Gatorade Sports Village with a free interactive sports area that includes foosball, pop-a-shot basketball, air hockey and darts
· The SRP Lil’ Rockers Area with hands-on interactive instruments and music-related arts and crafts as well as karaoke and a children’s musical museum
· The SRP Music Shack & Garage Band Competition where the SRP Garage Band Competition finalists will battle it out to see who will open for the event headliners
Circle K will also build a fully operational store on-site, and nearly 40 food, beverage and retail vendors will be offering product samplings, giveaways and other promotions all weekend long.
“If FBR is the greatest show on grass, we like to think of ourselves as the greatest show right next to a man-made lake in the desert,” said Kevin Koziol, Ken’s brother and co-founder of the event.

The Circle K Tempe Music Festival has again partnered with Arizona State University for a student night on Friday, as well as partnering again with the Tempe Festival of the Arts to become “Tempe Arts & Entertainment Weekend.” The music festival has also partnered with several local charities including United Cerebral Palsy and Cox Charities.
