Exspecially
black artists often are huge in putting out a certain promotion of their
public image, whether this is for instance Bootsy Collins, TM Stevens or
Stevie Wonder. But if anybody deserves the title for biggest egomania,
then this is surely Lord Bishop, who is already pretty impressing with his
height of about 6 feet 10. In addition to that is his fantastic make up
and costume, such as the union flag hat, the colourful jacket and his
Guns'n'Roses T-Shirt or the velvet pants, reminding me a bit on a nappi
butt. On the other hand owing this curious shape, the Lord probably
doesn't prefer any tight designer jeans...

This all
is underlined by a rather big mouth, which apparently he doesn't use only
on a stage. Can't tell you though, as I don't get to know him personally
tonight. Usually you always get to know the artists who play the Village
due to local circumstances. Not so tonight, as I'm leaving a bit earlier
to catch up with some sleep for a very early wake up next morning. But
that's a different story.
Anyway, Lord Bishop performs within a threesome and discribes his musical
style as Sex Rock.
He
describes the 5 main reasons of Music as follows on his colourful website:
First, Politician's are a nightmare of mankind. Second, the musicbusiness
is down the drain, because there are not enough indie radiostations. Third:
the world is a big place, learn the differences and how to love them and
fourth: Sex 'till you drop. Fifth: don't worry to find your way and say
your opinion.
You can think about it now what you want, and whether this big boy is
really the dream of a man come true. But his music does the talking as
well. And this one is a mixture of hardrock with some funk and Blues...
All 12 studioalbums and a Best of record are placed on the merch table
including tons of different shirts...So you got the choice.
The
latest ‚Peace
Action’ is out since last year. But it is actually the music of this
record, which appeals most to us. A small acoustic set inbetween make a
bit of a change as well... |
