Red Red Meat

Red Red Meat was a 1990s Chicago-area blues-influenced alternative rock band, that evolved from an earlier band, Friends Of Betty. After the break-up of Red Red Meat, frontman Tim Rutili went on to form Califone, for which many of Red Red Meat's former members, including percussionist Ben Massarella, often record and perform. Tim Hurley went on to form Sin Ropas.
