Bayou City Funk is a versatile deep funk/soul/jazz fusion outfit that mixes tight grooves, full horn melodies, and soulful vocals into positive and energetic live performances.
Bourgeois Mystics is a multi-regional, for-profit, personal growth cult and “genre-defying dance party waiting to explode,†headquartered in Austin, TX. Founded in late 2014 by four acquisitive ascetics, they soon honed a distinct sound, oft described as “Zappa meets OutKastâ€, and infused their music with the fundamental principle that profit should always trump basic human welfare.
The band has been recognized for their virtuosic musicianship & songwriting as well as their live shows, “an absurdist splatter of funk-rock, hip-hop, and jazz†that sets audiences ablaze with their “psychedelic Monty Python†tongue-in-cheek humor and bombastic energy. Notable accomplishments include sharing a bill with George Clinton, a national tour, over 150 shows, runners-up recognition in the 2018 Austin Music Awards, and winning the “Keepin’ It Weird Award” at the 2018 Austin Music Video Fest for their video “Jaan Pehechan Ho”
