Since Charles Gocher's death last month following a battle with cancer, the remaining members of Sun City Girls-- brothers Alan and Richard Bishop-- have nixed the possibility of new tours or records under the SCG name. They do, however, have plenty of unreleased material that they hope to put out eventually, and it seems that they will continue to write and perform.

In fact, Richard Bishop kicks off a tour tonight as Sir Richard Bishop. He'll join Bonnie "Prince" Billy on a European jaunt, and in May, he will travel the U.S. with Animal Collective.
