Bishop Allen On Tour

Bishop Allen just announced dates for their new tour in support of their second LP, The Broken String. The album will be released on July 24th by Dead Oceans. It contains a sort of "best of" selection from their EPs of 2006, including favorites "The Monitor" and "Click Click Click Click."

During this tour, they will be playing in NYC twice! Once at a free show at the Seaport Pier 17 on July 20th and another time to close their tour at Bowery Ballroom on August 18th. Tour support will be Page France and The Teeth. I look forward to seeing them again since I had so much fun at their last NYC show.
