LORD BISHOP ROCKS!!
THE KING OF SEX ROCK IS COMING TO NEW ZEALAND!
He's flamboyant, sexy, rude, wild, hes the one and only Lord Bishop.
Lord Bishop could be called the original punk, resuming where MC5 left. Hes filled with the energy of black rock icons like Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone. Hes not exactly an overly talented guitar player, and hes also crafting his songs that they survive without solos, but the sheer energy hes putting into bullet fast songs like War Stop The War or Devil Inside put him apart from most other bands. Lord Bishop is playing deliberately with clichés, hiding his cultivated and intelligent inner self behind a shocking stage persona that is as acutely sexist as it is radically anarchist, when it comes to political points of view. I know a lot of people who absolutely hate everything the Lord does, but I know just as many who adore his shameless take on punk and rocknroll. There is no middle ground possible here, and I am proud to tell that I belong to the latter group.
For the first time ever Lord Bishop Rocks! will be rocking New Zealand, doing a full national tour. Playing live and touring is what the Lord does best. He plays up to 200 shows a year and is a rock icon in Europe. Lord Bishop will be here in February 2010.
