Lord Bishop Rocks!
the rock swagger and smirk, the hats, and the extreme gyrating together inspire you to lose your shit at times, then stand back in awe at others

Lord Bishop Rocks is an experience every hardened gig-goer should indulge in at least once. The self-proclaimed purveyor of 'Sex Rock', the Bishop is as much performance artist as musician. The clothes – possibly stolen from a 70s lounge or games room (tiger prints and felt galore), the rock swagger and smirk, the hats, and the extreme dance manoeuvres together inspire you to lose your shit at times, then stand back in awe at others – never before have I seen someone play the electric guitar with their tongue. He dives off the stage and into the audience, whipping them into a frenzy from the get go and somehow sustains this intensity for the entire set. This is a decent enough live show that certainly does rock – in that primitive way that hits the pit of your stomach and makes you go Grrrr! [Dorian Williams]
