Bis have been around for a few years. I'm surprised that more people on the
list are familiar with them. They're last couple albums have been on Grand
Royal here in the states. Their latest, entitled _Social Dancing_, is
surprisingly very electronic sounding. If you've ever heard their previous
efforts (which are very American indie rock lo-fi pop punk sounding), you'll
understand why at least I'm surprised by the sound of some of the tracks on
the new album.

They're much more hyper-active than that makes them sound.
They're pretty cool. Though I've not heard the Kid Loco remix (which is
what started this thread), I'm almost certain it sounds nothing like they're
own original material.
Peace,
