Editing Meat Puppets (section)

===First hiatus and reunion (1996–2001)===
Bostrom recorded a solo EP under the moniker ''Today's Sounds'' in 1996, and later on in 1999 took charge of re-issuing the Puppets' original seven records on [[Rykodisc]] as well as putting out their first live album, ''Live in Montana.'' Curt formed a new band in [[Austin, Texas]] called the [[Royal Neanderthal Orchestra]], but they changed their name to Meat Puppets for legal reasons{{Citation needed|date=November 2024}} and released a promotional EP entitled ''You Love Me'' in 1999, ''[[Golden Lies]]'' in 2000 and ''Live'' in 2002.  The line-up was Curt (voc/git), Kyle Ellison (voc/git), Andrew Duplantis (voc/bass) and [[Shandon Sahm]] (drums).  Sahm's father was the legendary fiddler-singer-songwriter [[Doug Sahm]] of [[The Sir Douglas Quintet]] and [[Texas Tornados]].  The concluding track to ''Classic Puppets'' entitled "New Leaf" also dates from this incarnation of the band.
