Meatbodies just headlined the 7th Street Entry on Friday night, in support of
Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom.
Originally, the show was announced to have
Population II (singer/drummer Pierre-Luc Gratton, guitarist/keyboardist Tristan Lacombe, and bassist Sébastien Provençal) as support act… but unfortunately, due to Visas issues, the Canadian band had to cancel their appearances in America. The band will, however, still be able to support Meatbodies on their Toronto appearance at the Garrison on April 23rd.
Population II’s latest
Serpent Échelle EP is out now via Bonsound.
Last-minute replacement local trio
Small Animal Hospital opened the show. They were pretty happy to play their loud, post-hardcore music with sweat and tear.
It’s been a few years since we last saw California’s
Meatbodies. Back then, they were still known as Chad and the Meatbodies (named after band leader Chad Ubovich).
 Meatbodies (22 Sep 2019)

We previously saw Meatbodies in
Sep 2019 and wrote, “If you didn’t know, the band consists of Chad Ubovich (who also plays bass in Fuzz and touring member of Mikal Cronin), Kevin Boog and Patrick Nolan. My favorite of their set was penultimate song “Alice”, which went on jamming well after it’s supposed to end.”
The 7th Street Entry show was full of older stoner music fans. Many of them were in large groups of friends… indicating to me that Meatbodies’ music was a communion/sharing effort.
Vocal duties were shared by between Chad and Casey Hanson. Bassist Noah Guevara can be seen bopping back and forth, and drummer Dylan Fujioka kept the beat going.
The band played music from the new album
Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom, which Chad described as a more serious album, examining themes of love and loss, escapism, defeatism, hedonism, psychedelics and much more.
