Bishi - Nights At The Circus

BISHI’S FORTHCOMING ALBUM ‘NIGHTS AT THE CIRCUS’ FUSES BRITISH POP WITH HER FOLK INFLUENCES AND RUMINATIONS OF URBAN LIFE.“I HAVE BASED THE ALBUM ON BEING AN OUTSIDER. THE SPACE BETWEEN TWO CULTURES CAN BE CONFUSING, BUT IT CAN ALSO BE VERY ENERGETIC, SAYS BISHI. THE TITLE OF THE ALBUM IS INSPIRED BY ANGELA CARTER'S NOVEL OF THE SAME NAME - A TALE OF A HALF-CASTE HYBRID PERFORMER, WHOSE DARK ADVENTURES COVER VAST REGIONS OF THE WORLD, WHILST HAVING FIRM ROOTS WITH THE LONDON UNDERGROUND.THE SINGLE ‘NEVER SEEN YOUR FACE’ IS CURRENTLY PLAYLISTED ON THE BBC ASIAN NETWORK, FOLLOWING HER WEEK LONG SHOWCASE AS ‘FUTURE FRICTION’. SHE RECENTLY PLAYED AT BESTIVAL, WHERE SHE PERFORMED WITH PATRICK WOLF TO A PACKED CROWD ON THE ‘BBC INTRODUCING…’ STAGE, AS WELL AS PLAYING HER SOLO SHOW. AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER BISHI WILL BE GOING ON A US TOUR WITH PATRICK AND BAT FOR LASHES. THE WEEKS BEFORE THE TOUR SEES HER PLAYING SOME EXCLUSIVE LONDON SHOWS, DESIGNED TO CAPITALIZE ON THE INTEREST SHOWN IN HER BY SEVERAL BOOKING AGENTS AND PRESS, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT, TELEGRAPH AND METRO. ON HER RETURN FROM THE US SHE PLAYS THE ELECTRIC PROMS, FOLLOWED BY THE ALBUM LAUNCH WHICH WILL SEE HER PLAY TO 1,200 PEOPLE OVER 3 NIGHTS AT SHOREDITCH CHURCHTHIS ALBUM REFLECTS A WORLD OF 'NEW PSYCHEDELIA'- AN ERA OF POP MUSIC INSPIRED BY COLOURFUL AND CROSS-DISCIPLINARY INFLUENCES, PRODUCED WITH D.I.Y. AESTHETICS AND PROMOTED WITH THE EASE OF THE INTERNET. IN THIS NEW CULTURAL LANDSCAPE BISHI IS EMERGING AS AN EXCITING & VIBRANT ARTIST TO WATCH. THERE IS A SUPER LIMITED "MIRROR BOARD" CD
