Since Forming in July 1999 the band has released four LPs and a split CD with Napkin. Their first two releases, Eat Meat Cuz It's Fun (now out of print) and Shameless Self Promotion were self-released and only feature original members Josh Chambers and Kevin Highfield. After playing to an audience of over a million viewers on the now-cancelled USA Network's old show Farmclub.com, the band was signed to Orange Peel Records. Which re-released their debut and released their 2001 album Forbidden Meat. In 2002, the band changed from a 3-piece act to a 4-piece by adding a rhythm guitarist. Currently The Sloppy Meataters are traveling the country as an acoustic trio and have future plans to record an acoustic ep.
