[edit] History

MRP were known for their often extremely short and sometimes theatrical/performance art style sets. Sam McPheeters occasionally dressed as Patrick Henry while playing. The rest of the members sometimes wore masks, ladies lingerie, or children's clothing.

The roster for Men's Recovery Project included members from such groups as Wrangler Brutes, The Locust, Melvins, Thrones, Rah Bras, Le Tigre, and Six Finger Satellite.

In 2000, the band made a conceptual album with tracks exclusively about the Middle East called "Bolides Over Basra."[1]

The group split in 2002 after Burkes' restless leg syndrome made touring impossible.
