CMJ 2009: Warpaint, My Jerusalem, John Forté and More
CMJ’s annual Music Marathon is upon us. Unlike Austin, New York is always crowded and filled with idiots wearing orange lanyards, so the city barely lifts an eyebrow when overrun with however many thousand bands with names (Surfer Blood, Best Coast, Holiday Shores, etc.) that sound like they were yanked straight out of a Dick Dale tribute night.... read more

Found in: Music, NewsBishop Allen announces tour, new record
We here at Paste have lied awake more than a few cold nights this past year pacing back and forth through the hall waiting for something new to come from Band of the Week alum Bishop Allen. Sure, it's only been a little over a year, but we find ourselves lost without the group's soothing melodies, clever lyricism and indie-film sensibility in our daily lives. And we like the slap-in-the-face of oversaturation (the band released one EP in each month of 2006). We were so inspired we decided to come out with one magazine for every month of the year.... read more
Found in: Music, NewsEvangelicals and Bishop Allen tour apart, together
Not only are two former Paste Bands of the Week, Bishop Allen and Evangelicals, about to embark on pretty intense, month-long, multi-continent tours, but they’re actually going to meet up at one point and play two shows together. Just another match made in Heaven by your friends at PasteMagazine.com. If we had any more foresight, we’d have sponsored the tours ourselves.... read more

You've probably heard Bishop Allen's sanguine tunes without even knowing it. "Click Click Click Click" rode tube airwaves in a Sony digital camera commercial (does "Take another picture with your click click click click camera" ring a subliminal marketing bell?) over the holidays. Now the quartet's MySpace blog reports the band members has been working on new songs that they hope to release by the end of the year. While we're keeping our "Best of 2008" pens poised, the band has also announced its members will appear alongside Michael Cera in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. The comedy is based... read more
Found in: Music, NewsBishop Allen releases “Click Click Click Click” video, tours
Having been involved with movies like Mutual Appreciation and Funny Ha Ha, the members of Bishop Allen are no strangers to the tricks of the film trade. Now, they are putting their skills on display with the release of their music video for “Click Click Click Click.” Composed of individual photo shots of the band performing, the pictures are blended together through stop animation, giving the video a happy-go-lucky charm that matches the group’s indie-pop sound. You can view it on YouTube or on QuickTime. As previously reported, Bishop Allen has been on a U.S. with John Vanderslice. The musical... read more
