Meanbottle was formed in early 2007 and consider themselves to be Rural Alternative. Meanbottle coined the phrase Rural Alternative to describe their mixture of country, rock, punk and rockabilly all rolled into one. The band plays mostly original material written by lead singer/guitarist, Derek Miller. Since Meanbottle’s inception the band has continued to add to its repertoire and has amassed a large volume of original music and old country covers. The songs included in a Meanbottle set can take you from high intensity, fast, driving country-punk, to fresh renditions of old Hank Williams songs. The band is very diverse in influence and covers a lot of musical ground during a single set. Meanbottle has played many venues in the Colorado and Wyoming area, such as The Aggie Theatre in Ft. Collins and The Fox Theatre in Boulder, and shared the stage with countless national acts such as Aaron Watson, Paula Nelson Band, David Allen Coe and Jason Boland & the Stragglers.
