Meat Whiplash were an alternative rock band from East Kilbride, Scotland, that were amongst the first to be signed to Creation Records.
They only had one record released, "Don't Slip Up", which spent 19 weeks in the UK's independent music chart, where it reached the No.
3 position following its release on 14 September 1985 as a 7" single,[2] (which had a sleeve featuring actor Robert Vaughn, printed up by Bobby Gillespie and hand-folded by their record label's owner, Alan McGee).
They are notorious for being the opening group at The Jesus and Mary Chain's infamous "riot gig" at the North London Polytechnic on 15 March 1985, where they threw a wine bottle into the crowd and were, according to The Jasmine Minks, the next group due to play, then were beaten-up on-stage by members of the audience who later rioted when the controversial main act performed.
They also had a session in the Maida Vale studios for John Peel's show on BBC Radio 1 on 15 October that same year.
