I was trying to explain to my girl how amazing it was that Bishop Allen and Page France were touring together. She wasn't getting it. I tried an approach that she might understand.

Baby, I said - it would be like you getting to see Shakira and Paulina Rubio playing together in a tiny little room that only holds about 200 people. AND no lip syncing!

Needless to say, she was not amused - but I think she got it.

So I'm pumped. AND Dallas is getting 2 (yes count them 2) Bishop Allen shows. One in Denton at Haileys (check out the Maria Taylor set from there, and the St Vincent set) AND they are playing at Good Records (my absolute favorite venue in Dallas - check out Kevin Barnes and Grizzly Bear at the Good).

Here's hoping that Page France also plays at Good Records and that Bishop Allen plays acoustic and mics everything. Don't worry though, Im sure we'll get something lovely for you to listen to.

In the interim heres Bishop Allen from their Charm School tour and from SXSW earlier this year. Here's Page France from last year and from SXSW as well!

Be sure to check out this tour - bound to come to a city near you.
