The Meat Sweats

The Meat Sweats Story

They started as female Elvis tribute artists, but they ended as legends in their own right. What are the odds that this trio of late-stage female Elvis impersonators would find each other, and a whole new sound? Shows were high-octane dance fests with an energy that "takes the crowd to church." They were the initiators of many unforgettable 80s dance crazes, not least of which was the Kielbassanova. As their boisterous crowds grew and grew, so did the mayhem — no Meat Sweats show was complete without frenzied fans slinging loose spam and sausage at the stage.
