BIO
GRUNGE WAS ONLY SLEEPING...
Tel Aviv based band Meat Eating Orchids (MEO) was formed in Tel Aviv mid 2014 by singer-songwriter and nightlife entrepreneur Or Biron who after spending a year in Beijing and engaging in an interesting electronic music project decided to go back to her grungy folk roots. After teaming up with guitarist Nitzan Zisk, the two young women decided to find the Yang to their Yin and invited Ran Boldor (bass) and Boaz Blum (drums) to join them.
In 2015 MEO has released their debut single Weapon of Choice to acclaimed reviews both in local and international press, which was followed by a successful local tour and a keen, consistently growing fan base.
The band’s name has become mostly known for their ecstatic, kicking live act, as well as a fresh, relevant empowerment of the grunge-rock genre in general, and female musicians in particular.
Nowadays, MEO is in a process of reformation (with new lead guitarist Roma Guinness and new bass player Naama Aviram) and recordings of their debut album, which is set to be released in the near future.
