Return To Central
     Hello fans! It's been ages since my last update (January 2001) so I hope that you've all been well! Today's news will be huge, but keep with it if you want to know whats been going on over the last 12 months:

BIS NEWS

     Firstly, Bis were dropped by Grand Royal. The guys weren't all that disappointed though. Basically they've said that it was too much about the hype and not enough about the music. Good for them I say!

     Then, Bis left wiiija records. The head honcho left so Bis decided to do the same as well. This has been a major reason as to why Bis haven't released anything in the UK for a while.

     However - Bis being Bis, have bounced back. They've signed a deal with SpinArt Records in the US. The album has therefore just been released Stateside complete with a North American tour (which involved running over little old ladies in New York - tut tut!).

     Over the next 3 or 4 months they hope to go to Japan and get the album out over there. Then (with any luck) back to Britian so we can all enjoy 'Return to Central' too! Bis have said that they would like to do some extra tracks for the UK release. Here's hoping.

     If you are really desperate for new Bis material you can buy a recently released 4 track ep from Chemikal Underground Records (they did 'secret vampire' & 'school disco' eps too). Alternatively, you can order the US version of the album via amazon.co.uk.

JOHN NEWS

    So - on to me! I've started back at college and I'm on the right route to doing my degree again. It's boring, but life's like that! I've passed my driving test and managed to clock up 12,000 miles over the last few months in my car.

    While the website has been slow to update, I've managed to scoop a couple of web-awards. Well hey, no-one else is gonna sing my praises are they :)

     I have mainly been listening to the following artists: ash, gigi d'agostino, air, groove armada, the avalanches, feeder (big time!), cosmic gate, Ian Van Dhal, Bracket & the dandy warhols.


Well, it's almost 1 in the morning, so I'll leave it there. Thanks for all the messages of support - It's great to hear from you all. Updates will happen as and when I can. See ya soon,

- John
