Chicken Lips

Chicken Lips are a dance music band and production team from Stafford, England, that includes Andy Meecham and Dean Meredith, both formerly of Bizarre Inc, a band they created in the early 1990s.

Career

Meecham and Meredith began working as Chicken Lips in 1999.[1] Their music is more left-field House than the Acid House that dominated in their earlier Bizarre Inc. productions.[1] Their music has also been described as "disco-dub".[2] As producers, they have issued in stream of twelve-inch singles released through the Kingsize label.[1] With the addition of Steve Kotey, owner of Bear Funk Records, the Chicken Lips became a trio.[1][3]

Meecham has also been involved in side-projects such as The Emperor Machine.[4]
