Personal account from Don Bedell:
The band formed after the break-up of two other local bands,
Zen Machine and Iguana Nasties. Heavily influenced by the
punk/funk movement of the late 80's the band played a set
of covers from bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Living
Colour, 24/7 Spyz along with some classic funk from groups
like Parliament Funkadelic, Sly & The Family Stone and
the Commodores.
The Metermaids had a good selection of originals as well.
The band broke up in summer of 1990 following the graduation
and departure of Athens by Don, Miki and Sue. Playing a
lot of house parties, green weekends and the Uptown bars,
along with their brethern in funk, "Hippopotamus",
they established a strong following while, Unfortunately
lasting only one year.
