==Biography==
Raised in the Sunnyslope neighborhood of [[Phoenix, Arizona]], Cris took up the banjo after seeing ''[[Deliverance]]'', moved on to guitar, and ultimately picked up the bass when he started playing together in bands with his older brother [[Curt Kirkwood|Curt]]. In 1980 the brothers and their friend [[Derrick Bostrom]], a drummer, decided to form a band, which they eventually named the [[Meat Puppets]].
Besides playing bass Kirkwood's role in the band grew over the years to include singing and songwriting. The Meat Puppets songs that Cris has been credited with co-penning have included the majority of the group's [[Meat Puppets (album)|self-titled debut]], as well as "Maiden's Milk," "Animal Kingdom," "She's Hot," "Other Kinds of Love," "Not Swimming Ground," and "The Mighty Zero," "Paradise," "Bad Love," "Automatic Mojo," and "I Can't Be Counted On," while being solely credited for penning the tracks (which he also sang lead on) "Station," "Evil Love," "Cobbler," and "Inflatable."
