Bis

Real Name:
John Clark, Steven Clark, Amanda MacKinnon
Profile:
Supposedly the first band EVER to appear on the BBC's "Top Of The Pops" TV program in early 1996 without having signed a record deal (performing the track "Kandy Pop").
Whilst they weren't 'officially' signed to a multi-part deal yet --they later eventually signed with Wiiija-- this could be slightly discounted as a perfect fact in that a 7" had been released before this on a Spanish label Acuarela Discos. And also, the track "Kandy Pop" was just about to be released on the label Chemikal Underground the week after they appeared on TOTP anyway.
