Data Panik: BiS by any other name...

The three recently-estranged members of Bis have bowed to the inevitable and are back together in the form of a new band, Data Panik.

Described by Ms Rin as “a harder, stronger Bis with a drummer”, the band’s first release will be a 7” self-pressed single, which will hopefully be out around the end of March and which will feature two songs: 'Cubis(I Love You)' and 'Sense Not Sense'. They aim to be playing live in a couple of months time, and are currently seeking a label interested in putting out their debut album.

Those curious about what Manda's been up to in the time lag between Bis and Data Panik could do worse than check out her other project The Kitchen.

Dweeb were better

I used to utterly despise them and one of the funniest things I ever saw was them supporting the Foo Fighters (that's the FOO FIGHTERS) in Newport. It would be fair to say that the likes of 'Kandi Pop' didn't go down very well with the audience. But they really toughed it out (apart from one of them smashing his guitar and then saying 'Happy now?') and I warmed to them as people. Then they released 'Eurodisco' and I warmed to them as a band as well.

Re: Data Panik: BiS by any other name...

Data Panik: BiS by any other name...

Yes! I'd been wondering for ages what they'd been up to - Big Up Bis!

...and I don't care if that isn't cool.

Data Panik: BiS by any other name...

they released a video a couple years back that was quite cartoony and the chorus started with the line 'tell me why' i loved that song but never checked em out. what is the name of the song? (sorry if it is 'tell me why')

Data Panik: BiS by any other name...

HUZZAH! i love bis. i love bis i love bis...

I'm thrilled!

Data Panik: BiS by any other name...

WooHoo! Let's be nice shall we? Bis got far too much stick. I was most impressed when I saw them at Reading 97; it was one of the craziest moshpits I've ever seen!

Data Panik: BiS by any other name...

yay!!!!!

Re: Data Panik: BiS by any other name...

I think the track is The End Starts Today perhaps...good song. I don't think it actually says Tell Me Why but it does sound like it (or at least that's what i always sing when i'm singing along to it).

Re: Data Panik: BiS by any other name...

but thats definately the song. cheers

I loved The Secret Vampire Soundtrack when it came out, got the first 3 singles/EPs and they began to grate with me and gave up on them then.

Candy Pop is still quality mind.

Bis were great and Ms Rin is still damn hot. She wears strappy tops so well :)

Re: Data Panik: BiS by any other name...

i think the line was "nail me down".
