Chicken Lips

Chicken Lips is 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.

This article is about the band. For the episode of Cow and Chicken, see Chicken Lips (Cow and Chicken).

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]
