Tyson Meade

Often cited as The Godfather of Alternative Rock, Tyson Meade was the vocalist for the Norman, OK based rock band Chainsaw Kittens, along with Defenestration. Meade was cited by Kurt Cobain as an influence, friends The Flaming Lips covered Tyson's song 'She's Gone Mad,' and Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins credits the Chainsaw Kittens as one of his favorite bands, writing Meade during the recording of the SP album 'Gish' to express his appreciation. His solo albums include "Motorcycle Childhood," "Kitchens and Bathrooms," "Tomorrow In Progress," and  "Robbing The Nuclear Family," which came out in March 2019.
