Suena Como: Terry Poison is a fictionnal character that we made up because our lives are really boring. We are quiet nice girls from bourgeoise homes, proper education, careers, you know... We had to make up this fantasy girl, Terry Poison, to have something interesting to write about. We are also really quiet in bed. Usually we fall asleep in the middle.

Gilli: I never fall asleep in the middle!

Louise: Ok, everything I do, they also do. But lately, due to too much partying, our lives are starting to be like Terry Poison's. So who is Terry Poison, who's who?

Gili: She's the one falling asleep in bed.

Louise: Yes, it's not us!

Bruno: I can give you a serious answer. It's an excuse for every girl. Whenever you feel like doing things you always wanted to do, and you never have the guts to, just say Terry Poison did it.

 

Terry Poison is an Israeli electro band. It consists of Sivan 'Pétite' Meller (keyboard, vocals), Louise Kahn (lead vocals, guitar), Gili Sa'ar (bass) and Idan 'Bruno' Grife (main producer, computers and synth guitar). Poison herself is a fictional character and is not a member of the band.

Forming in 2003 as the riot grrl duo "Cherry Poison", Israeli-Norse singer Louise Kahn and journalist Noga Netzer had performed only one show before meeting producer Idan "Bruno" Grife.

Now renowned "Terry Poison", Grife had revamped their music to electroclash, and added his then-protégé Sivan "Pétite" Meller to the lineup.

Terry Poison had performed extensively in Israel during most of 2004-05 and had released two of their tracks in the 2004 compilation of pioneering Israeli electroclash label "FUT*RE Records" (now defunct).

More personnel changes followed as in the ending of 2005 Netzer had left the band, to be replaced by former-model Gili Sa`ar, who was functioned as the band bass player.

Since 2006, Terry Poison's new lineup is touring extensively throughout Europe, have recorded the successful theme song of Israeli TV program "Life According To Y", released an independent MP3-based EP, and have lately been signed to French label "Ekler'O'Shock" to release their debut vinyl EP "Buzz On The Bell" (2007).

Reinforced with another guitarist, Anna, Terry Poison's new live lineup had performed for more than 5000 audience at the Rock en Seine music festival on August 2007.

With Gili Sa'ar playing a role in the Israeli telenovela "Dolls", the girls have performed the show's similarly named title song. The song "Buzz On The Bell" is played during the closing credits.

Most of the girls in the band are claiming to be single.
