Since 1981, Sir Richard Bishop has been traveling the spaceways as 1/3 of Ethno-Improv Pioneers, Sun City Girls. The Girls have released nearly 100 albums and tapes over the last 25 years, and have managed to perplex, amaze and alienate their audiences (as planned). Though they tour on rare occasions, they spend much of their time in the recording studio, working on writing & film projects, and exploring what’s left of the planetary system, not necessarily in that order.
By trade Sir Richard Bishop is a dealer of rare occult books and fine paper ephemera. For many in the musical cosmos, he has occasion to travel the smoke filled carnie circuit as 1/3 of the Sun City Girls medicine show. But in the twilight hours of a shadow world sensed only by few, Bishop is a dazzling unaccompanied guitarist.
Thanks to the powers that BE, in early 2005, Sir Richard Bishop began extensive touring as a solo artist, performing throughout Europe, Australia, and the United States, armed with only an acoustic guitar. His multiminded solo playing reflects influences of Django Reinhardt, Jimmy Page, and Ravi Shankar & the sounds of India, the Middle East and other points along the Gypsy trail.

Could someone repost audio Baltimore show somewhere? That page says audio files have been removed. I really want to check it out.

Also, track 13 was that guitar-exploding moment I referenced in my earlier post.

Thanks for the Baltimore set! Now I can relive that night over and over. Also I have to say that the Freak of Araby live is SO much better than the studio recordings.

Check out Sir Richard's Baltimore set (audio): http://www.beatbots.com/av/2009/06/17/sir-richard-bishop-baltimore-md-june/ The Jana Hunter set won't circulate (band not happy with performance). The Oaxacan set was posted to Beatbots earlier.
