All ticketholders must show proof of Covid-19 vaccination OR a negative Covid-19 test from within 48 hours of the event.

But as much as it speaks to the disillusionment of a lost generation, 333 also abounds with the

innovation that limited resources can inspire. To set the Zeppelin III-styled pagan-campfire jam

“Let Go (333)” in motion, Ubovich tapped out the beat with drumsticks on his pillow, while

“Nighttime Hidden Faces” melds two completely different demos together, steering its Stereolab

synth drones into a mind-bending boogie worthy of Royal Trux. The instrumental “Eye Eraser”

might be 333’s greatest example of hermetic ingenuity—what may have turned into a shoegaze

rager is instead rendered as a blissful union of brain-fogging fuzz and minimalist electro beats.

Ironically, by working within a tighter lo-fi schematic on 333, Meatbodies have greatly expanded

their palette, opening new portals to explore. And yet for all its free-ranging experimentation,

333 arrives at a tidy, full-circle conclusion with the sundazed serenade, “The Hero,” a song that

Ubovich sees as a logical bookend to the opener. As he explains: “One is the id, one is the

super-ego, Although I don’t know which is which. They're both very sardonic and defeatist in a

lot of ways, but ‘The Hero’ is supposed to be a little funnier, laughing at everything.” He’s earned

the right to a chuckle: For an album that wasn’t supposed to exist, 333 is the ultimate testament

to Meatbodies’ renewed vitality.
