Meisha

Meisha is fronted by Michelle Oakley and her fragile, haunting vocals.

Sounding like a punch up between Portishead and Kate Bush, stirred by Skunk Anansie, lead guitarist & producer, James Earp, who was recently signed to Sony ATV for his songwriting, takes the opportunity to experiment with Meisha’s sound in the studio while their live act showcases the songs with a raw energy. The six members of the band are a dedicated collective, collaborating in the songwriting process and going to great lengths to create powerful, beautiful songs, while layering the instruments to create ambitious and complex sounds.
 
Their live performances echo the eccentricity of Kate Bush set against an electro-rock background putting their music into a whole new perspective – the songs are performed with pulsating energy that has a load of grunt and growl to it. In their first year of live shows, Meisha have sold out The Luminaire, supported Kate Nash at 93 Feet East and are regulars on the London circuit playing at Cargo and The Dublin Castle among many other venues.

Meisha have just released their debut EP, combining electro-rock with adrenaline-pumped alternative pop. Ranging from the blistering Firesale to the symphonic Silver, the tracks manage to be lo-fi, yet full of production quirks that blend richly textured vocals with catchy guitar riffs and epic choruses.

Working closely with new directors and artists, the band have released two stunning videos to accompany the EP: www.meisha.co.uk/videos/

Getting press as ‘Ones to Watch’ and with a live set that displays such breadth and depth, it’s clear they’ve a load more to offer in the future
