Borderville are a four-piece cabaret rock band who hail from the semi-fictional town of Borderville. Featuring a former drag-queen on vocals, an electronica wunderkind and member of Keyboard Choir on the keys, a conceptual artist who builds creatures out of bones and skin on the bass and a drummer stolen from the orchestra pit of a production of West Side Story, their current incarnation formed in early 2008 with the intention of marrying theatricality, glamour and intricate, classically inspired arrangements to heavy walls of noise. From support slots with Guillemots to Oxford’s acclaimed Truck Festival and regular show-stopping appearances around the country, their unique approach to performance calls to mind Jaques Brel, The Birthday Party and David Bowie.
‘Joy Through Work’, their hotly-anticipated debut album, is released across all major digital platforms on 7th December. Recorded and produced by pianist Tom Woodhouse, this heart-wrenching, confrontational concept album is a densely layered, widescreen affair, gloomily gothic and ebulliently glamourous by turn; epic, punky, gutsy and moving.
Borderville are looking for gigs all over Britain. They are also interested in working with booking agents and publishers. To get in touch, either message them on myspace or email band@borderville.com
