Bis - the secret vampire soundtrack

I wasn't born when JFK was shot or Armstrong stepped on the Moon so when people ask me what i was doing when these events happened i either look dumbly at them or hit them for thinking i'm that old. However if they asked me where i was when Bis appeared on Top Of The Pops well i know exactly where i was. Sat in front of the TV enjoying every single minute of it!

They made history by being the first unsigned band to appear on the venerable TV show (though it was not strictly true to be honest) and sang one of the songs here "Kandy pop". This was the closest we'd ever get to a Sarah-ish C86 band appearing on TOTP so it was a genuinely Earth shattered occasion and one of the most important events in history. That of course is my opinion, and you may not agree with it, but it is a FACT.

They rocked obviously. Bis mixed youthful exuberance, lo-fi indie pop and retro electronica. They were actually ahead of the game in many ways. Its fun, its how pop should be.
