2025 Charity Shop Purchases #11 - Bis - Detour
A quick Detour from Northern Soul courtesy of Thornliebank's finest band Bis
From their 1999 album Social Dancing which I have on the shelves here is the CD single promoting the track Detour on the Wiija label.
A band I was vaguely aware of at the time but who I came to later thanks to their resurrection by Last Night From Glasgow. Since then I have seen them twice and they were very bouncy.
In addition to the title track - Manda Rin, John Disco and Sci-Fi Steven - give us the tracks Kiss and Tell and Why Don't We Go Home?
I've just noted that Detour was produced by the late great Andy Gill of Gang of Four fame.
This should help you to have a bouncy Monday.
bis were played a lot by John Peel in the mid 90s and had 4 entries in 4 separate years in his Festive 50s - none of which (as it happens) you featured! Liked them at the time but never got to see them.
