The Bourgeois Four – A Ninth Path

Like a phoenix from the ashes...or at the very least a slightly charred pigeon from a bonfire...one of Brum’s great lost bands The Bourgeois Four have cemented their comeback with the release of brand new album, A Ninth Path. 

It’s an ambitiously eclectic collection of, in their words, lo-fi B-Punk ranging from the New Wave-ish Celebrity Body Crisis to the dreamy epicness of The Lighthouse, all 6 minutes and 47 glorious seconds of it. For my money undoubted highlight of the whole shebang though is Meat and Motorways which somehow fuses spunky indie punk a la Young Knives at their finest with almost Sabbath-esque riffage. Now that’s something you’ve not heard B4 eh? 

There’s an album launch party at The Station, Kings Heath on Saturday 30^th April in aid of Kings Heath Action for Refugees. Tickets just a fiver right here right now AND...wait for it...AND you get a copy of the ruddy album too!
