Bim Stay In My Memory

Bim is the brainchild of Singer / Performer Rebecca Rosier and Composer / Producer Tim Davis.

With their blend of harmonies, piano duets and electro beats, the duo have already made a name for themselves online – charting at #6 in the iTunes electro charts and having over 650,000 YouTube hits for their single, Stay In My Memory; and thousands following their Twitter, Facebook and Myspace pages.

Musically, Bim have been compared to The Cardigans, The Cocteau Twins and Imogen Heap, with a live stage show that echoes the energy of Blondie, Madonna and Abba.

Their debut album, Scatterheart, was entirely written, recorded, produced and promoted by Tim and Rebecca, and is released along side a string of home-grown music videos.

Great new single from The Divine Comedy's 10th album Bang Goes the Knighthood. Catchy pop tune about dancing at the indie disco. Brings back memories of club nights and the nineties. Which reminds me. My Friend's 30th birthday will drag me back to the Dance Cave in a couple of weeks. ahhhhh..."give us some Blur and some Cure and some Wannadies".
