Onetime Stylish Riot MC (til the infamous 80s Matchbox barrage of beercans incident), all the time Let Them Eat Gak, Bored Youth on Prozac & Spoonful of Poison MC, started life as Snakebite City MC. Three years in the service of Wormworld @the Foundry. 18 months hosting the "Pleasure Island" open-mic band nights at The Boston Arms. Co-founder of Bring Your Own Poison. Half of Gusset. Frontman of Electricity Comes From Other Planets, now sadly deceased (ECFOP, not Vis). In his time Vis has also appeared in The Bill, been resident poet on 2 series of ITV's now defunct magazine programme SHIFT, and roadied for George Clinton and, bizarrely, Belle & Sebastian.
