White Meat

White Meat was the name of my first proper band. This is not intended to speak ill of my high school “band” Hollow Pumpernickel, my conceptual hard rock band Hinge, or that one day in 1996 that I was the bassist for the metal band Level.

We were an acoustic comedy duo, formed in 1999, our first album dropped in January 2000.

(speaking of 1999, here’s our MySpace page)

Our original name was The Other White Meat (hilarious, we know). We changed it when we recorded OL&D to avoid potential copyright infringement.

Old Ladies & Dogs (2000)

We were pretty well-liked in college, where we started playing as an opening act for other shows, and shoehorning ourselves into variety acts

Opening for Allegation
The Apollo-Style Talent Show
Jamaica Mission Trip Benefit Concert

After our undergraduate years, we started playing open-mic nights around Pittsburgh, and got involved with the comedy/radio scene

Look on the Floor on the B-94 Morning Show with John Dave Bubba Shelley Brian & Amy
The X Backyard Barbecue with Alan Cox (radio personality)
Theme Song for The Alan Cox Radio Show

Then I quit my dayjob (technically, it was a night job since I was in grad school during the day) and spent my nights finishing and mastering our second album:

Don’t Tell Our Mothers We Made This Album (2004)
