Body Mass Index (BMI, aka Brain-Machine Interaction, Boy-Man Intercourse, MIB - Men In Black, IBM - In Bed with Madonna etc.) is a disinformation project that was forced onto stage resulting in a few live performances.
BMI has so far played mainly primitive Old School Electronic Body Music (EBM) and proto-EBM and Body-Music. Incepted in 1996 and the band cannot formally disband or quit as long as all former members are alive.

Only one live recording was released officially on tape in 9 copies originally. In 2006 the tape was oficially ripped and recut adding one track and released on-line only at last.fm: http://www.last.fm/artist/Body+Mass+Index/

Totally some 20 songs have been performed live but apart from above mentioned, none were recorded.

The band is a project with growing numbers of former members, but so far J Pelvis Melvin (Jim Persson-Melin) has been involved i all performances. All former members have the same full rights to use the name freely and equally but each own the copyrights to the songs they compose themselves under creative commons non commercial licence free for copy (correct formal copyright notice will be added). This band structure is an experimental form important to the bands purpose and it is described to work like a sexually transmitted disease (STD).
