Stickam welcomes Manda Rin, the gamine frontwoman for the 90’s electro/disco-punk band, BIS!  BIS garnered early fame in 1996 with the success of their first single, “Kandy Pop”, and solidified that success with the composition of the theme and soundtrack for the uber popular animated series, Powerpuff Girls.

Manda Rin has just released her solo debut album, My DNA.  Check her out live this Tuesday, Oct. 28th at 4 PM PST/7 PM EST for an exclusive live chat in celebration of her new album!

History has served the legacy of Manda’s old band Bis well. The likes of Klaxons and CSS peddle sounds heavily indebted to the Glaswegian trio, while there’s a cult fan base for their pioneering fusion of riot grrrl and disco that refuses to die. ‘Typeface’ sounds akin to Blondie’s ‘Rapture’ reimagined by The Gossip, while ‘Black Book’ is pure out-and-out raunch; My DNA might see Bis’s old singer and keyboard player have the last laugh over those who misjudged her at the time.  – NME
