Bourgeois Mystics: “Bourgeois Mystique” [PREMIERE]

By: Jack Anderson

Five years ago a group of…well…nutcases (in the best way possible) decided to blend art rock, jazz, funk, and hip-hop with sarcastic overtones, international languages and pulse-amplifying performances. Now flaunting even more larger-than-life personas, Austin ten-piece Bourgeois Mystics lies somewhere between Frank Zappa and OutKast, where superficial, profit-hungry lyrics balance out with serious instrumental grooves.

Be on the lookout for the sophomore record from Bourgeois Mystics, entitled Turn On, Tune In, Sell Out and catch a free video release party 9PM tonight at Oskar Blues Brewery! “What video?” you may ask…Embrace the musical mythos with a previously unheard single from Bourgeois Mystics, “Bourgeois Mystique“!
