Bishop Allen

Bishop Allen are an American indie rock band based in Brooklyn, New York, composed of drummer Jack Delamitraux, bassist Christian Owens, guitarist Justin Rice, and guitarist Christian Rudder. Vocal duties are shared among the band's members.

Bishop Allen was formed by Rudder and Rice doing all the instrumentation in spring 2003 and they released their first album, Charm School, shortly thereafter, with Margaret Miller and Bonnie Karin providing background vocals and credited as members of the band. Later, Bonnie and Margaret left the band, and eventually full-time bassist Christian Owens and full-time drummer Jack Delamitraux became the permanent third and fourth band members. In the summer of 2006, Bishop Allen announced that Christian Owens would be leaving to start her own band, Music Magic.
