I think the answer is probably going to be "it depends".
How complex are the bios? Are you writing them in HTML, or some flavor
of a "Band Markup Language"?
It sounds like a project that I would have conventionally done with a

yourself with XML-based Web development, depending on how large or
mission-critical it is.
