BOURGEOIS PIGS was an all star union forged in late 2000. Included in the roll call for the 'Calamity Of Vanities' album were former OZZY OSBOURNE and BADLANDS guitarist JAKE E. LEE, ex-HOUSE OF LORDS guitarist Michael Guy, SHARK ISLAND, CONTRABAND and RICHARD BLACK PROJECT vocalist Richard Black (a.k.a. Richard Czerny) and bassist TONY FRANKLIN, veteran of BLUE MURDER and THE FIRM. Drums were in the capable hands of FIFTH ANGEL, ALICE COOPER and HOUSE OF LORDS man Ken Mary and Matt Sorum renowned for his work in GUNS N' ROSES and THE CULT. Keyboards came courtesy of Linsday Vannoy of ALICE COOPER.

BOURGEOIS PIGS was announced as having contracted with the Italian Frontiers label but no product was forthcoming.
