Manda Rin


Manda Rin is a Scottish singer, artist and songwriter. She is the singer and the keyboard player of the Scottish Indie Rock band Bis, and later fronted The Kitchen as well as releasing a solo album. She also co-hosted a radio show on BBC Scotland called "Air".
Rin was the only person ever to appear in two of the line-ups round on Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Her first appearance was never shown: one of the contestants on the programme was Russell Brand and shortly after taping, he became embroiled in a tabloid row after leaving messages on the answerphone of Andrew Sachs for his radio programme, resulting in Brand being banned from the BBC.

Solo career

Rin released solo singles with This Is Fake DIY Records in 2008 for "Guilty Pleasure" and an EP, My DNA Sampler. The next year her EP My DNA was released.
Rin contributed vocals to tracks for the 1998 album Cat Food from J Church and Meister's 2004 I Met The Music. She later teamed up with Hyperbubble on a track for the group's 2011 album Drastic Cinematic and for the 2013 EP Hyperbubble + Manda Rin.
