Bis

 
Music

4-track EP of Factory-related covers, released on Optimo’s OSCARR label in 2002. Press release here if anyone feels the need.

This was requested in a post down below and the original poster managed to get it, but here you go anyway. Don’t say I’m not good to you. I’ve always had a lot of time for Bis and their various offshoots – Data Panik, Dirty Hospital and the like. Initially famous for being the first unsigned band to appear on TOTP (yawn) they went onto much greater things in my opinion, such as the magnificent Eurodisco. They split up in 2003 before reforming in 2007 – I recently caught them at Primavera, as did half of Glasgow going by the crowd who were there.

I’m off to the Wickerman festival tomorrow and one of the bands on is the Amphetameanies, featuring moonlighting Bis axe-hero John, who you should really check out doing Model 500′s Chase on his home analogue synth setup. Some folk are way too talented. Bastard.

Right – that rain had better stay off or they won’t be able to light the fucker on Saturday night…
