The Meowstro Sings — Guster's Keep It Together
'''''The Meowstro Sings — Guster's Keep It Together''' features all but one of the tracks from Keep It Together'', with the vocals replaced by simulated cat meows. According to the band, the meows were sung by Guster's monitor engineer at the time, Matt Peskie. The tracks were then released online, in an effort to deter downloading of legitimate tracks. The "meow mixes" gained a following from some fans, and were made available to Keep It Together purchasers through a link hidden on that album. The Meowstro is featured in "Melanie", which appeared on the 2004 Guster album Live 6/17/04 Myrtle Beach, SC. The studio version of "Melanie" appears on Goldfly also includes some meowing, but not by the Meowstro. Guster released the single "Carol of the Meows" for the 2004 holiday season, a recording of the traditional "Carol of the Bells" given the same treatment.
