Our Story

The Meaty Ogres bring a heavy dose of soul, funk, and rock to every stage. Based in Berkeley, California, the band blends raw grooves, soaring guitars, and gritty vocals into a sound that’s equal parts tight and unpredictable. With Tommy Sasso (vocals, keys), Andre DeRussy (vocals, guitar), Chris Kemp (drums), Joe Vittoria (lead guitar), and Mo Zagha (bass), The Meaty Ogres turn every show into a high-energy party built for dancing, singing along, and losing yourself in the music.
