Bis are marking three decades together with a special anniversary gig in Glasgow on Saturday .

The Scottish trio achieved a lot more highs and lows than that, from Top of the Pops and jumping in the Beastie Boys swimming pool to a hate campaign from the music press.

The band's greatest overseas success came in Japan , where they earned a devoted following.

Bis reactivated for a string of shows in 2009 and then again in 2014 .

The band have to juggle other responsibilities with the group now, from being parents to their health, with Amanda being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

Plans are already underway for more shows next year and new music is always being talked about.
