Bish

There are several artists using the name "Bish": 1) BiSH, a Japanese idol group formed in 2015. 2) BISH, a project by English musician Darryl Hunt. 1: BiSH (Brand-new idol SHiT) is a Japanese idol group formed in 2015 by Watanabe Junnosuke, their manager. It currently includes six members: Aina The End, Momoko Gumi Company, Cent Chihiro Chittiii and members Ling Ling and Hashiyasume Atsuko, who both joined in early August, 2015. The newest addition is Ayuni D, who joined after the departure of Hug Me. A fifth member, Yukako Love Deluxe, was part of the initial lineup at the time of the group's announcement, but she chose to withdraw before their debut due to anxiety and health problems. First-generation member Hug Me left the group in 2016, due to family issues. She was replaced by Ayuni D in August of 2016. They were created as a successor to Watanabe's previous group, BiS (Brand-new idol Society), and as such their music is primarily produced by Matsukuma Kenta, who is responsible for the majority of BiS' songs. BiSH released their first album, the eponymous "Brand-new idol SHiT", in May 2015. 2: Born: May 4, 1950 in Hampshire, England. Darryl Hunt earned his BA in Fine Art at the Nottingham School of Art where he studied under Vic Birgin and Steve Willets, and also performed musical installations working with Dave Measures. His first musical foray was with Plummet Airlines whose first single was released on Stiff (Buy8). Then he formed The Favorites, a punk pop group who released two singles on 4 Play, one of which, "SOS", was Annie Nightengale's (Radio 1) single of the week. After some other musical diversions he formed Pride of the Cross with fellow members Dave Scott (from Spizz) and Cait O'Riorden (from The Pogues) as a part-time lounge band. Performances were well attended and acquired a slightly legendary status. With Cait getting busier with The Pogues, Darryl and Dave signed up Debsie Wykes (Dolly Mixtures, Captain Sensible and now Birdie) to be the voice of what was now The Troubleshooters. At this point Darryl, finding it difficult to feed himself for lack of money, decided to take up a position with his friends in The Pogues doing sound, the driving and the tour managing as well as looking after the instruments. Occasionally having to fill in for a dissappearing Cait O'Riorden (bass player), a position that became permanent in September, 1986, when Cait decided to run off with Elvis Costello and make the holiday last forever. Darryl stayed with the group until it ceased to function in 1996. Apart from playing the bass guitar, he contributed drums, guitar and backing vocals to the band. He also wrote several songs for The Pogues one of which "Love You Till The End", from the album Pogue Mahone was used in the credits of the Burt Reynolds film "Mystery Alaska" (Darryl has done his own version of the song on the BISH album). Darryl has had a strong interest in Underground House music since the late 1980's and has been DJing in clubs around the UK and Europe since 1990. Since The Pogues' demise he has worked on various projects (London Electric Guitar Orchestra L.E.G.O., experimental pop group Marseille Figs, and Spider Stacey's group The Vendettas (ne The Wisemen)) while compiling a substancial amount of his own material which is to be found on the BISH CD. BISH also features Knut Knutson, a friend from Berlin who plays guitar, bass & organ and Jon Chandler from Birdie on drums. http://www.myspace.com/bishmusic Read more on Last.fm.
