My name is Ian C Bishop from N London UK. Now residing in Jersey City. Singer, songwriter first and fore most. Guitarist, clarinetist. Arranger and mixer. First band (Ultra Vivid Scene) signed to '4AD'. From there I moved from the UK to NYC's Lower e side. And cut my teeth as a guitarist with locals 'Bobbo'. Four years later on returning to the UK my own newly formed band 'Rosa Mota' signed to Beggars Banquet. Their fist release "Drag for a Drag" was released to acclaim and bemusement by the UK press.The awesome 2nd LP 'Wishful Sinking' was released on MUTE RECORDS in 96. 3rd & final album 'Bionic' recorded by Steve Albini at London's Abbey Road. After 3 albums,much touring & gigging & variouse singles & videos the band of 3 boys and 2 girls split. The cinematic and beautiful 'Horsepower' released 3 well received LP's. Magestic & intense, 'NX' recorded an albums worth of unreleased tracks that peak and soar combining the many disperate sounds of the previous bands.
