What no one from Bishop Allen?


Funny Ha Ha had Christian Rudder and Mutual appreciation had Justin Rice why no band members in this one??? Jack Delamitraux would make a great addition to this film!

Bobhope etc., you are a VERY old fogey. Bishop Allen is a rock band that is big with all of the young, mumbly indie folk. I believe they are named after a 17th century bishop who, oddly enough,was a big influence on Bob Hope. The closing song in the trailer sounds very Bishop-Allen-like but apparently it is not by them, nor is the other song in the trailer. In fact, this may be an entirely Bishop-Allen-free film. But since no one ever said a Bishop Allen song would change your life, that is OK.

(PS, bob, that is a reference to the Shins, the band not the body part. Not that there is anything wrong with the body part.)

or maybe they're named after Alan Bishop of the Sun City Girls?

You're getting your mumblecore directors confused.
Andrew Bujalsk is the director who's used the fellows from Bishop Allen, not Joe Swanburg.

Just because Andrew's in the movie...
