We are thrilled to welcome back 'the hardest working band' in SA – The award-winning, chart-topping THE BLACK CAT BONES!
‘’Book of Miriam’’ is the anticipated new album from acclaimed South African band The Black Cat Bones. The core of the band is comprised of Andre Kriel, Kobus de Kock, Gareth Bunge & Casey Rothman. Founded in 2007, The Black Cat Bones are arguably South Africa’s hardest working band, renowned for their captivating live performances that put them in a class of their own, drawing on a widespread and loyal fan base.
With a back catalogue of four previous self-released albums since 2009, including the SAMA Award ‘’Best Rock Album’’ winner ‘’Beatpiller’’ (2013), the band has continued to evolve both as songwriters and in studio. Signing to leading indie label Just Music in 2020, a significant fresh take on the production effort in association with the label and producer Mathew Fink at Atomic Studios, has seen the band rise to an unprecedented level in the making of their new album ‘’Book of Miriam’’.
“Although we’ve included the funked-up track ‘Quit it’, originally recorded by Miriam Makeba in 1972, the album is by no means a tribute record, rather an ode to all women. The soulful-funk direction is something that we’ve always tinkered with in our live performances, but never really got into in the studio. When the label suggested that we try our hand on a few of these tracks, it stimulated us as a catalyst for fresh songwriting and new studio production ideas. We’ve obviously still retained much of the core Bones blues-roots sound, but this time around we’ve opened ourselves up to an array of ideas we’ve never had the confidence to pursue before. This is by far the most honest album we’ve done to date.” – Andre Kriel, guitarist.
