Ethyl Meatplow was a short-lived yet enormously accomplished pseudo-industrial alternative/dance-rock outfit comprised of vocalist Carla Bozulich, drummer Biff Barefoot Sanders, and singer/guitarist John Napier. Formed circa 1990, the group released three independent singles before their only album, 1993's Happy Days Sweetheart. The group earned a reputation for their live shows, which combined samples and electronics with live instrumentation. Happy Days Sweetheart earned good reviews in alternative/underground magazines, but the band spilt soon after its release. Bozulich became the vocalist for the pseudo-country-rock group the Geraldine Fibbers; she also sang on ex-Minutemen/fIREHOSE bassist Mike Watt's 1995 solo debut, Ball-hog or Tugboat?. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
