The Wanton Bishops
The Wanton Bishops is a Lebanese rock band formed in Beirut, Lebanon in 2011. The group consists of Nader Mansour (vocals, guitar, harmonica, keyboards) and Eddy Ghossein (guitar, backing vocals, banjo). The duo began as an independent act founded after Mansour and Ghossein met outside a bar in Beirut and eventually bonded over their mutual appreciation for blues music. The Wanton Bishops was eventually formed and emerged among a second wave of popular garage rock revival and are considered today to be one of the leading bands in the Middle East.
After signing with young talent promoters Keeward, the group released its debut EP, ''Bad Rhyme'' (2012), which was recorded in Beirut. The record forged the group's raw blues rock sound and earned them a good standing amongst rock crowds in Lebanon. Over the next year, the Wanton Bishops built an underground fanbase through near-constant touring of small clubs, a viral presence on social media, media appearances, and extensive licensing of their songs. The international media eventually caught on to their soaring fame in countries such as France, Turkey and Sweden, and it wasn't long before the band started accumulating international date tours. Today, the band has just completed a tour in Turkey and is scheduled for tours in France, Dubai, and Scandinavia.
==Early life==
Nader Mansour (b. 1983) and Eddy Ghossein (b. 1984) were born and raised in Lebanon. The young men both graduated from Lebanese high schools and went on to pursue their degrees in economics and finance but maintained their presence in the music scene by playing in local bands and cultivating their passion for music. Mansour headed for Paris after high school and graduated from Paris School of Business (ESG Paris) with a degree in finance, at which point he decided to make a strong career shift and enroll in the Parisian CIM Ecole de Jazz, the first Parisian jazz and contemporary music school, to focus on his music.
On the other hand, Ghossein stayed in Beirut and graduated from Saint Joseph University (USJ) with a degree in economics. Shortly after graduation, he worked in banking jobs and eventually decided to forsake his corporate attire after he met Mansour outside a famous blues bar 'Bar Louie' in Beirut while the former was embroiled in a fistfight. Having had Ghossein's back, Mansour and Ghossein built a friendship, which eventually culminated into a musical partnership that created The Wanton Bishops.
