''This article is about the Lithuanian rock group. For other meanings, see [[Bix (disambiguation)]].
'''BIX''' is one of the oldest and famous rock bands in Lithuania. They got together in [[1987]] in [[Šiauliai]] and in a few months became a [[cult band]]. After a period of intensive touring throughout [[Europe]] and [[the US]] they were the most experienced Baltic band, and probably the best known in the West. Recording never was a strong side of BIX since they were a 'live' band.
Their style of music may be described as [[post-punk]] with the elements of [[ska]], [[Latin American music]] and [[funk]].
