Red Red Meat

Chicago’s Red Red Meat released three albums on Sub Pop in the middle 1990s (and a self-titled album before that on their own Perishable Records). The band called it quits in 1997, its principals heading off in their own, frequently inter-related directions. Singer/guitarist/primary songwriter Tim Rutili and percussionist Ben Massarella formed Califone, bassist Tim Hurley formed Sin Ropas, and drummer/producer Brian Deck went on to become a full-time music producer, working with bands including Modest Mouse, Iron & Wine, Califone, and the Fruit Bats.
