[03-19-2009] Bishop Allen Continuing my trend of showing up just before shit gets crazy, I managed to snag a spot up front for Bishop Allen's set at Mohawk. The music project of Harvard alums Justin Rice and Christian Rudder was wildly popular among my friends in college, so I was glad to finally see them, but I honestly couldn't imagine listening to their records. They're incredibly cute, with cl

Bishop Allen just tossed out a couple new tracks from their upcoming album entitled Grrr. Look for the album on March 10th via Dead Oceans. If you're wondering why there's a general lack of creativity out of me this week, it's because I'm still recovering from Drinking Buddy's bachelor party in Tahoe. The cobwebs should clear [...]

Bishop Allen's new album, entitled Grrr ..., doesn't hit stores for another month (March 10th), but you can get a preview by downloading two tracks from the upcoming release here. Uber-catchy pop anthems "The Ancient Commonsense of Things" and "Dimmer" are up there with the best of Bishop Allen's previous release, The Broken String , which was one of my favorite discoveries in 2007. The Anc...

Bishop Allen won't blow your mind but their songs are too darn quirky and cute to ignore. Good bouncy summertime tunes. The Brooklyn pop quartet released an EP every month in 2006, garnering the group loads of attention from the likes of NPR and Rolling Stone. Turns out, all that work made for a great sophomore release (they debuted in 2003) called The Broken String, which will be available Ju...

Grrr… is the third studio album from Harvard-grad pop group Bishop Allen. Unlike their grandiose last album, The Broken String, the band simplifies their sound on this disc. The straightforward, cute instrumentation provides a perfect background for Justin Rice’s straightforward, cute vocals.The album opens with ‘Dimmer’, a quirky, childish tune. Rice’s wavery [...]Related posts:Lily

Every so often you get an album and it is so much better than you had expected it to be. This happened to me this weekend when I picked up the new album by the Bishop Allen. I loved their first offerings, and was afraid that they would not be able to duplicate the magic once again for me. This seems to be happening a lot to me lately, I fall in love with a band, then they put out a crappy recor...

The pop-folk duo of Justin Rice and Christian Rudder, or Bishop Allen, released their third album recently, the adorably titled Grrr... The record follows their solid 2007 effort, The Broken String, which was actually a collection of the best of an EP project the band had completed the year before. The album was better than it really had any right to be, a quaint, fun record that established th...

Thanks to a friendly tip from Bishop Allen lead singer Justin Rice, I can safely tell you that Bishop Allen's third LP Grrr… will be out March 10 on Dead Oceans. MP3: Bishop Allen - Click Click Click (from The Broken String) As of yet no recordings of new songs have surfaced, so it looks like [...]

Not even a day after I said how happy I was that I hadn't heard any new Bishop Allen songs before the release of their third full-length… I find one. Granted, I'm not exactly upset to be hearing a new Bishop Allen song (I'm thrilled), but I'm sure this youtube video isn't the ideal way [...]

I was doing some random Youtubing and found this professional video of Bishop Allen at Spain's Primavera festival. They picked a good one to record/post to the web, "Click Click Click" is definitely one of Bishop Allen's best tunes. While we're on the topic, what's new with Bishop Allen? Well the group have spent the [...]~~

Hello MOG Community,It is I rawkkiddo, and I seem to be back to where I once was a familiar face. This last month has been a tough one, spent a lot of time getting my teaching license up to par before the start of the school year. As it turned out I was a few hours short, and in turn did not get a placement for the 2007-2008 school year. This caused a great deal of stress in my life, and in tur...
