Well hello❗

Not only are we delighted to be doing more dates with one of the nicest bands we know, but we're going to cities and towns we haven't destroyed the ears of yet! We last played Exeter 25 years ago, but the rest are nu. We frequently get fan requests to play Cardiff and the Birmingham area so this is exciting. We even sold a tee to a fan in Frome earlier this month so hope you'll be coming along :) Let's do this 🙌

Look where we are in August! Tickets go on sale Wednesday 10am.

Our latest tour with EMF and Jesus Jones is over. Using the word "tour" is a rare thing for us and, wow, still can't believe that happened. As you've maybe heard we were total fanboys and fangirl of these two bands in our teens so quite jawdropping that we can now call them friends. Something just totally clicked and everyone agreed. Maybe it was our love for mixing guitars with electronics and jumping around like idiots but something just worked. Day 1 in Glasgow I (Manda) was quite starstruck taking it all in, like being alone in the lift with Mike Edwards, but day 2 we had our EMF/bis WhatsApp group set up and making plans for our invitation to join EMF onstage! The amount of new fans we've made this past fortnight is astonishing and I've never been so cheery returning from a tour so will do everything in our power to keep this momentum going. I love our new friends and miss them already. Honoured to meet and see the amazing Derry join EMF in Bristol too. Thank you to EVERYONE who came to see us, even when we played so early. It genuinely meant the world to us. Steven was a star with all his driving (especially after our tyre exploding incident) and although he says he won't do it again we're already sussing out ideas. We WILL be back.

Happy Saturday! Wee reminder on our latest news this week: * Our new mailing list is set-up but please check your spam if you signed up and haven't received anything as we've heard many got it in there including 368 people called Martin. This is a genuine bis mailing list so don't worry that it's anything dodgo. If you've not joined yet, you can do so at https://bistheband.kit.com/d4ee94b349 * We will open for Maximo Park and Art Brut at the o2 Academy in Glasgow Fri 6th Feb. We're delighted at the response to tix purchased since this was announced and hope team MP see this too 😍 * Our festival appearance for Firefly Festival (Dumfries) is our next gig and only THREE WEEKS away! * Our long-awaited split 7" with Art Brut is nearing completion so apologies for the GIANT delay and we promise that it will be worth it as sounding bloody amazing! * Our tour with EMF & Jesus Jones is less than 6 weeks away so well nervous and proof of another cracker of a 3 band bill!

Our first gig for 2026 is playing with Maximo Park and Art Brut at the o2 Academy in Glasgow on Friday 6th Feb. the first gig of their tour!

Amazingly this is a venue in our hometown that we haven’t played so far, and as fans of Maximo Park & Art Brut this is exciting :)  Over 14’s and over 8’s on the balcony.

2025 is looking rather hot!! Firefly Festival in Southern Scotland has early bird tickets on sale for just a few more days so we seriously think you should consider a little trip to a beautiful part of the world. Touring with EMF and Jesus Jones we're still in shock and think it's a dream. Always fun to tour with bands more mental than us. I'm itching to play!!!

How hot does this look for 2025 so far?!

Touring for bands like us that aren't BIG, have day jobs and young families is bloody tough so this many gigs makes us smile. Your support makes the promoters NOT think they've made a mistake and we thank you 😘
