Who is ruling out all conspiracies? I'd say if you believe in the existence of more than oh let's say three conspiracies you are probably a nut.

The fact that Bishop is a nut does nothing to detract from my enjoyment of his music.

I'm going to get the Rockefeller-Bolshie-Kremlin triumverate on all your asses now.
― Alex in SF, Thursday, 7 May 2009 22:19 (fourteen years ago) link
so meh, the more pertinent question in my mind is WHAT THE FUCK was up with that exclusive Earth/SRB split LP that you could get if you lived in Lancashire or some shit like that. That is so stupid, and uncool to the "Base" here in the states.

that was for their Euro tour, i got one. I dont live in Lancashire

that split is find-able on the net, if you just want to hear it ... it is awesome, but that is fairly obvious!
― tylerw, Friday, 8 May 2009 15:34 (fourteen years ago) link
Sooo, does anyone know anything about the musicians backing Bishop on the new LP? The playing throughout is great stuff, and I don't recognize any of the names (lol i'm white btw.)
― ian, Saturday, 23 May 2009 17:51 (fourteen years ago) link
don't have the record yet but i saw him live last night and his backing band were the members of the oakland group oaxacan and i thought they were fucking great. plus they performed a number off of grotto of miracles. holy shit! amazing.

I played the new album yesterday and was kind of put off it by the number of people that came up and asked if it was The Shadows...!
:-(
― krakow, Sunday, 24 May 2009 09:23 (fourteen years ago) link
At least they know who the Shadows are...? Don't you like surf?!
Also, it doesn't look like the Oaxacan dudes are the dudes who play on the record, unless the record dudes are playing under pseudonyms.
― ian, Sunday, 24 May 2009 20:57 (fourteen years ago) link
great last night! and oaxacan were cool too. great to see them in such a small place too. one jam reminded me of a saharan surf version of a robin trower song or something. with all the twang in the air i was kinda hoping he would do a number by his old labelmates JFA.
if you are in boston you should go tonight.
dude from oaxacan stopped by my store during the day and he was a little worried that people wouldn't show up, but there was a good crowd. not PACKED, but respectable for a tuesday night in turner's falls massachusetts.

I think they are pseudonyms, cause the only guitarist listed is Rasheed Al-Qahira who I assume is SRB.
― mizzell, Wednesday, 17 June 2009 14:57 (fourteen years ago) link
"cool! what's it called?"
john doe jr.
(we are still waiting for our cool new sign to go over our door. should be ready by friday.)
oh, and my brother's store is called john doe. which is why i called mine john doe jr. cuz i'm the younger brother.

although an alphonso johnson/richard bishop jam would be pretty cool. they could do dark star together.

Heh, I would have been asking if this was the new Richard Bishop and not known who the Shadows were.

saw the show with oaxacan at the music gallery.i was expecting mystical improv madness, so i had to readjust for the surflike stylings of his freak of araby material.really liked what the oaxacan drummer was doing during their opening set.
― m0stlyClean, Friday, 26 June 2009 22:26 (fourteen years ago) link
Saw them on teh 3rd. Oaxacan were great (I bought both their CD-Rs.) Bishop was good but seemed slightly tired (he actually remarked on this a couple of times). . . for some reason I was expecting more jokes. One of the stranger audiences I've seen in recent memory too.
― Alex in SF, Monday, 6 July 2009 20:16 (fourteen years ago) link
the show i went to was great!
― bodyguard/publicist Tank (M@tt He1ges0n), Monday, 6 July 2009 20:17 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah he was great in Eugene on the 2nd. Played "Sidi Mansour" in like triple time with a raging extended solo. I was thinking this lineup is kind of a dream gig for that particular kind of Sun City Girls fan who never really liked much other than Torch Of The Mystics. They also did "Wild World Of Animals" as an encore, that was slow and sad and sweet.

Wow! I can hardly bear to imagine what goodies he might be selling. His record collection is going to be something special.

yeah no kidding -- sort of curious why he's going the garage sale route? has he never heard of ebay?

going to richard bishops garage sale sounds like much more fun than ebay
