Meatstock Artist Focus: Dave Orr Band

Answered by: Dave Orr

Tell us your best BBQ-related memory: My first Texas BBQ experience, at Blacks just outside Austin. So good, but went a little to hard... serious meat sweats. I felt pregnant and had to go into hibernation.

What's your favourite thing to throw on the BBQ and why? Lamb chops. 'Cause 'Straya! 

If you had to use one BBQ/meat-based dish as an analogy for your music, what would it be and why? A Turducken. Everything is in there.

Will you ask for meat instead of booze on your rider? Tough question. Beer or Meat? Is there such thing as a MEAT BEER? If not, why god dammit! Come on hipster micro-brewers, it's time!

What are you hoping to take away from Meatstock? MEAT BEER. MEAT MEMORIES and MEAT MATES.
