Q: How do you get a little old lady to say “FUCK!”A: Get another little old lady to say “BINGO!”
There. All jokes out of the way. Not all news needs to be forced funny or clever-clever. Sometimes the news has to be a straight claim, like this: Alan Bishop and Richard Bishop, two-thirds of Sun City Girls are touring in tribute to their fallen friend and bandmate Charles Gocher, who passed away last February.
Aptly titled “The Brothers Unconnected: A Tribute to Charles Gocher & Sun City Girls,” the tour began on May 18 in Seattle and will run through July 6 in San Diego and beyond (there are some dates still to be determined). Make sure to come early and watch a 40-minute film of Gocher’s video work, entitled The Handsome Stranger, which will play at many of the dates below. Check out a clip of the film here.
