But more about that next week.
In the 1950s and '60s rock and roll was seen as "the devil's music" by those opposed to the decaying of society's moral fibre - which they blamed on popular music.
Many, predominantly in the southern states of the United States, labelled music made by African Americans as "race music", so goodness knows what people from that era would make of the self-proclaimed king of sex rock, Lord Bishop.
An African-American from New York City, Lord Bishop emigrated to Germany in the middle of the past decade and has an impressive work ethic, playing "1500 concerts in his 13 years of performing", according to his Myspace page, on which he proudly states; "I will die on stage because it's the only place I live".
I threw him a few questions via email, and received some of the most amusing, and downright self-confident answers I've ever seen, although not all were fit to print.
He is known around the globe as Lord Bishop, but what did his parents call him?
"It's a secret, The CIA knows, though."
This tour will be Lord Bishop's first trip to New Zealand, but he likes what he's heard about so far.
"I love the vibe; I love the hot mixed chicks; I love the landscape and the open-minded music scene is also great.
"I think I'll be loved here."
If his life depended on an accurate description of his music he'd say it sounded like: "Sex rock.
"The ultimate hard rock, metal blues funk explosion."
Dunedin audiences will have their chance to judge if Lord Bishop is truly the king of sex rock themselves when he plays in Dunedin next week.
See him
Lord Bishop plays at Chicks Hotel, Port Chalmers, on Wednesday, Feb 17, from 9pm-11.45pm.
