Michael Bishop (bassist)

Michael Bishop (bassist): Michael Bishop is an American musician, and Bishop attended Thomas Dale high school. Most notably, he was the bass guitarist for the American heavy metal band GWAR. As a member of GWAR, he was the first to play the role of "Beefcake the Mighty")^[1] (during his stint, however, he would spell it "Beefkake"). In addition to GWAR, Bishop played bass and sang lead vocals for Kepone. Bishop's first band was the Hopewell, VA-based hardcore outfit The Guilty.

The name of Beefcake was taken from Bishop's nickname during his punk years.

He is currently a teacher of music history at the University of Virginia, and is in the final year of his Ph.D. in that subject.
