Bishop Allen Release Tour Date Info

TapeRock favorites Bishop Allen have just announced their summer plans for a U.S. tour in support of their new release, The Broken String. This full length comes after the band released 12 EP's last year - one for every month. The tour winds through each region of the country and includes a supporting cast of Page France for most dates and The Teeth(!) for a couple others.
