Rub Wrongways Records presents a brand new record from Bourgeois Heroes! Here is a private message from Jason Bourgeois:
"I'm happy to announce that the new BH ep is available now from Rub Wrongways Records for a mere $7 (which includes postage). It's called "Musical Postcards" and it celebrates the band's long distance musical relationship.

I began recording these songs on my four track cassette machine some time ago and then presented the tracks to Justin Pizzoferrato. The two of us worked together at Bank Row Recording with some fabulous guests (Andy Goulet, Mike McLellan and Ryan McGovern Quinn) to create these tracks. Correspondence between Elise and I throughout this recording volleyed between Northampton, MA and Austin, TX. Feedback was often sent via postcard.
I then moved over to Rub Wrongways Studio where Henning Ohlenbusch recorded and arranged string parts with Eric Lee (violin) and Candace Hope (cello). While we were at Wrongways, some of the Caravan of Stars (Hen, Lesa & Brian) gathered around a microphone and provided wonderful background vocals. Brian also broke out a broken saxophone.
By last summer, Elise was in town and we recorded her drums and vocals with Justin. We had long discussions on how things should sound. These conversations continued when she got back to Austin, too. Justin later mixed all of this business together.
****My I have a side bar with you for a moment? At this point I can't go any further without thanking Justin for his input and patience with the project on the whole. I can't wait to work with him again.****
The very talented Ian Dingman designed the cover (featuring Elise's handwriting) and our newest friend, Carl Saff, mastered all of the music.
To celebrate, I've opted for something more exciting that the typical release party. Fridays in April (the 9th-30th) is "The Bourgeois Residency" at the Elevens in Northampton, MA. There will be four musically themed evenings. The Novels, Death To New England, the Claudia Malibu, ALOTTLE and Glitter Gorilla are just some of the acts who will be appearing at these shows. You'll also be in store for an interesting mathematics lecture by Dr. Penny Ridgdill. More specific details will become available from bourgeoisheroes.com while each show date nears... but for now, have a look at the flyer designed by Luke Cavagnac."
