Back in 2008, the Oxford American discussed Garage Hangover in a three page essay on Lawson and Four More. For whatever reason, it has taken me almost 12 years to crow about the most mainstream press the site has ever received.
The author says some nice things about me & the site. I wasn’t interviewed, nor it seems anyone involved with making the Lawson & Four More records.
After years of conducting interviews, the tables have turned. UK digital arts magazine Tribe has a feature on Garage Hangover.

I’ll be on the University of Texas, Austin radio station KVRX tonight, Wednesday Nov. 18, doing a phone interview on Michael Sedillo’s show Strictly Business. He’ll be asking me about Garage Hangover and some of the bands I’ve featured.
The show goes from 9-10 PM Central Standard Time (10-11 PM in New York), and I should be on twenty or thirty minutes into the show.

I am Chris Bishop, currently residing in the Hudson Valley with my children. I grew up in New York, Toronto and Houston, attended college in New Orleans and Colorado, and lived for some time in California, Oregon and Japan. I’ve traveled to every state of the continental U.S. except North Dakota, and a good deal of Canada as well.
I’ve been a fanatic for garage rock since high school, notably from hearing the Bondsmen and the Q65 on the Mod Monday radio show and buying LPs of the Remains and the 13th Floor Elevators at the old Venus Records. I started Garage Hangover in August of 2004 to share some of my favorite songs with friends of mine, but it has grown into something else entirely.
I’m looking for a sponsor or grant in order to devote more time to research. Please contact me if you can help.
Band members, record collectors and fans in the Hudson Valley, New York area should drop me a line.
I also will buy collections of records: 45s, LPs and 78s; especially in New York or western Massachusetts.
