About Me

Ms. Meka Nism is known in underground circuits for her work with former American bands and touring projects “Dirty Barby” (playing NYC’s historical CBGB’s!), “Angel Autopsy,” and “Meka Nism and her Rusty Tears,” as guitarist, vocalist, and insane performance artist. Sponsored by Dean Guitars, she is recognized for creating the rare “Acoustic Death Metal” genre, playing with such bands as Trivium, Chimaira, and Faun Fables. In 2007, she released the album “Mad to Love” from Florida Indie label Hidden Records. The album’s feature song “Break” was awarded Best Experimental Song 2006 by Songwriter’s Showcase of America. In January 2007, Meka moved to Kyoto, Japan, where she began touring with singer songwriter bassist Yukari Ikeda, the two soon creating the band “Origami Girls” which made its television debut on KBS Kyoto television in 2008. They continue to tour Japan steadily (as well as a short US tour in Jan 2009) as band and solo performers and won the competition to play GOING KOBE 09, which will be seen on television and at Port Island on 4/29!!!!!*************************************************** *******************************Ms. Meka Nismはギターリスト、ボーカリスト、 また狂気のパフォーマンスアーティストとし て、"Dirty Barby" , "Angel Autopsy," ã‚„"Meka Nism and her Rusty Tears," などのアメリカのバンドと共に活動し、全米 をツアーしていたこともあり、アメリカのア ンダーグラウンド界隈では有名である。("Di rty Barby"としては、ニューヨークのCBGB'ï½“ã«ã‚‚å‡ºæ ¼”) また、アメリカのギターメーカー"Dean Guitars"が彼女のスポンサーになっている。 Ms.MekaNismのスタイルは"アコースティック・デ スメタル"と認識されており、"Trivium", "Chimaira", ã‚„"Faun Fables"などのバンドともプレイしている。 2007年、アルバム "Mad to Love"を、フロリダのインディーレーベルより㠃ªãƒªãƒ¼ã‚¹ã€‚この中の一曲"Break"は、2006年 、Songwriter's Showcase of Americaにより、Best Experimental song、という賞を獲得。 2007年1月より、京都に移り住み、シンガ㠃¼ã‚½ãƒ³ã‚°ãƒ™ãƒ¼ã‚·ã‚¹ãƒˆã®æ± ç”°ã‚†ã‹ã‚Šã¨å…±ã«ã€"Ori gamiガールズ"というバンドを結成。今年には㠀KBS京都のTV番組の出演も達成。現在も自身だ®ã‚½ãƒ­ãƒ—ロジェクトや、Origamiã‚¬ãƒ¼ãƒ«ã‚ºã¨ã—ã¦æ —¥æœ¬ã‚’ツアー中で、2009年一月には、ア㠃¡ãƒªã‚«ãƒ„アーも控えている。
