The Pigs (aka Our Heroes) are pleased to announce their long-awaited new album The Great Bluegrass Swindle.
The Great Bluegrass Swindle is a shotgun wedding of bad ass musicianship to a mix of crazy good pop ballads and hip hop covers – and Pigs originals added in for your enjoyance.
A fast and furious tractor ride that hints at the uniquely bent energy of The Pigs’ exceedingly popular live shows, The Great Bluegrass Swindle is in a word, Damnfine.
The Pigs are known worldwide for both their righteous interpretations of other people’s songs and for wowing audiences at venues & festivals around Australia with their infectious original tunes. The super catchy, ‘Hey Christina’ (some say the greatest break up song ever!), and the anthemic and hilarious ‘Macho Moisturiser.’ The new album contains more classic original tunes like ‘She Wants Your Kidney’ and ‘Poor Emily’. This band is way more than a one trick pig!
