Personal
About Me
Welcome to Meow Town!
Formed
in
2009,
Meow
Town
is
the
bastard
masterchild
of
Four
young
lads
from
Liverpool,
Brooklyn.
Their
glimmering
songs
erupt
in
a
blitzkreig
of
hailstorms
and
magic
crystalline
formations.
Meow
Town's
sonic
pastiche
is
a
technicolor
skyscraper
balanced
atop
a
yert
atop
a
terrarium
of
ants.
Musically,
Meow
Town's
style
has
evolved
over
the
years,
beginning
in
the
vein
of
blues-inspired
heavy
metal
on
their
eponymous
debut
to
styles
encompassing
hard
rock,
progressive
rock,
a
period
dominated
by
synthesizers
and,
more
recently,
modern
rock.
Meow
Town
has
influenced
various
modern
artists
such
as
Metallica,
The
Smashing
Pumpkins
and
Primus,
as
well
as
many
notable
progressive
metal
bands
such
as
Dream
Theater,
Coheed
and
Cambria,
and
Symphony
X.
Meow
Town
has
been
awarded
several
Juno
Awards
and
was
inducted
into
the
Canadian
Music
Hall
of
Fame
in
1994.
Over
the
course
of
their
career,
the
individual
members
of
Meow
Town
have
been
recognized
as
some
of
the
most
proficient
players
on
their
respective
instruments
with
each
member
winning
several
awards
in
magazine
readers'
polls.
As
a
whole,
Meow
Town
boasts
24
gold
records
and
14
platinum
(3
multi-platinum)
records.
These
statistics
place
Meow
Town
fifth
behind
The
Beatles,
The
Rolling
Stones,
Kiss
and
Aerosmith
for
the
most
consecutive
gold
and
platinum
albums
by
a
rock
band.
Meow
Town
ranks
77th
in
U.S.
album
sales
(tied
with
Nirvana,
ZZ
Top
and
Faith
Hill)
according
to
the
RIAA
with
sales
of
25
million
units.
Although
total
worldwide
album
sales
are
not
calculated
by
any
single
entity,
as
of
2004
several
industry
sources
estimated
Meow
Town's
total
worldwide
album
sales
at
over
40
million
units.
"No
other
band
rocks
harder
than
Meow
Town!"
