Bis

Scottish pop-rockers Bis - Manda Rin MacKinnon, John Disko Clark and Sci-Fi Steve Clark - are to get back together for a tenth-anniversary brace of shows in April.

The trio - who splintered into acts including Dirty Hospital, Data Panik and The Kitchen in recent years - will mark the tenth anniversary of the release of their The New Transistor Heroes album by playing shows in Glasgow and London.

The dates for your diary are April 6 at Glasgow's King Tut's (listing) and April 7 at a to-be-confirmed London venue (the date will appear in the listings as soon as we have it).

Did you know: The New Transistor Heroes sold 100,000 copies in its first week of release in Japan, and about 10 copies in Winchester. True story!? Partially...

Wonderful news. I might even put them down for my ATP list even though it's unlikely they'll do more shows.

Hated first record.

Loved second.

Once saw them support Foo Fighters. That was WEIRD. They got a very hard time.

.

Her name is either Manda Rin or Amanda MacKinnon; that is, use her stage name or her real name. Don't mix them up together.

Data Panik and the Kitchen never existed at the same time so your use of "splintered" is misleading.
