[citation needed] Bostrom remained somewhat active as a musician during the band's hiatus and his personal hiatus from music by releasing material under the name Today's Sounds (including the 1996 release, Songs Of Spiritual Uplift As Sung By Today's Sounds[1]) as well as collaborating with Neil Hamburger and Cliff Sarde (on his Smoke N' Function project).
Bostrom has also maintained the official Meat Puppets website since 1995 — and has continued to do so even when the band is inactive.
[2] In 2006, when the Kirkwood brothers began playing together again, fans speculated if Bostrom would be involved in an upcoming reunion, however he dismissed the notion in a post on the Meat Puppets' website.
Ted Marcus became the band's drummer in 2007,[3] succeeded by Shandon Sahm in 2010 before Bostrom re-joined in 2018.
Bostrom was extensively interviewed for the 2012 book, Too High to Die: Meet the Meat Puppets,[4] and the 2020 book, BONZO: 30 Rock Drummers Remember the Legendary John Bonham.,[5] both by author Greg Prato.
