Siiiii

Band, *1983 GB
Alternative and Rock

Siiiii were born in early 1983 when singer Paul Devine, then only 19, moved from his native East-Anglia to Sheffield purely to be in the band, joining guitarist Mark Holmes (4), bassist Ange Holmes and later Wayne Furniss (Pulp's original drummer and guitarist). Taking their name from William S. Burroughs' "The Soft Machine" they gigged extensively during the early to mid-1980's and possibly hold the record for the amount of times they were nearly signed to record labels. Siiiii disbanded in 1986 and the members went their separate ways. Mark Holmes (4) went on to play with The Anti Group (featuring members of Clock DVA) and Paul Devine became involved in The Niceville Tampa (now Niceville) and then DVO in South Wales. They have been "rediscovered" in 2005 after a chance meeting of e-mails between Paul Devine and gothic rock journalist Mick Mercer.
