'DUH-DE-DUH-DE-DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH....' and so on. You know the song we're on about, in the Cantina in Mos Eisley? The repetitive anthem of scum and villainy? Well, there's more to the band than meets the eye.

The Bith collective are actually named Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes and they were one of the most popular bands in the galaxy during the Clone Wars. They often performed on the frontlines for the soldiers and are part of the Intergalactic League of Musicians.

In fact, their names and instruments are: Figrin D'an (Kloo Horn), Nalan Cheel (Bandfill), Tedn Dahai (Fanfar), Doikk Na'ts (Doremian Beshinquel), Ickabel G'ont (Fanfar), Tech Mo'r (Ommni Box) and Lirin Carn'n (Kloo Horn).
