Core Info

“Instrumental music with a soul and a sense of humor”

Red Hot Chilli Peppers & Chickenfoot drummer Chad Smith, is set to unveil the debut release with his funk/rock outfit – Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatbats. Meet The Meatbats is set to be released September 15th on Warrior Records / Universal Music Distribution.

Bombastic, funky, sexy and loud, with influences ranging from old school, funk, punk and 70’s R&B, Chad Smith is breaking out on his own with guitar star Jeff Kollman, multi-faceted keyboardist Ed Roth, and Motor City bass ace Kevin Chown. Together, they comprise what is easily one of the most interesting and unpredictable instrumental bands to come along in years, Chad Smith’s Bombastic Meatbats.

Their debut album, Meet the Meatbats consists of 10 songs written in the span of a few days at Chad’s pool house in Malibu (known as “The Tiki Room”), songs including “Need Strange,” “Oops! I Spilled My Beer,” “Battle For Ventura Blvd.,” and the hauntingly beautiful “Night Sweats,” exude a live wire feel, sarcasm and excitement rarely found in the current world of digitally induced “perfection.” It’s instrumental music with a soul and a sense of humor.
