The Wanton Bishops New Headline European Tour Starts Next Week!

The Wanton Bishops, the vision of Beirut native Nader Mansour, will bring their latest album “Under the Sun” to Europe, a homage to Beirut and exploration of its identity, with an extensive headline tour which starts next week in Haarlem. The Wanton Bishops are joined by the rock quartet Dubinski, which fuses elements of Franz Ferdinand, Parquet Courts, The Clash, Maximo Park, and even Paul Simon.

Full Dates HERE. Listen to “Under The Sun” HERE.

The music of The Wanton Bishops reflects Nader’s homeland, his people, and his personal journey. To quote Nader: "I’m finally getting to the core of the music I want to create, and that core is scarily confused, yet uniquely special, much like our own identity as Lebanese people living in Beirut, that eternal cultural crossroad".

In support of the tour, The Wanton Bishops are featuring “Gonna Be Fine” as the new lead single. A truly satirical track: with lazy sarcastic vocals, on a heavy hip hop beat, and riffing guitars, this jam delves into the world of internet healers and motivational figures preying upon people’s anxieties of war to sell anything for a ‘like’, a ‘share’, or a ‘comment’. It is a modern life caricature of ‘woke’ content consumption looking for space in an otherwise crumbling world. Repeat this mantra after me and I assure you that we’re gonna be juuust fine. If only.
