The Bombay Royale

      Back in 2014 was when I first heard about the Australian cult band The Bombay Royale. Several of their hit songs were featured in a video game called Far Cry 4. From there I wanted to learn more about this mysterious band and check out some of their other songs. I then found this video of The Bombay Royale preforming live (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkQewE-tFuA). To my pleasant surprise I thoroughly enjoyed all of the songs (a blend of funk, disco and Bollywood). I was also intrigued by their code names and costumes (everyone wears domino masks).  
       Fast-forward a few years and during some free time I decided to create a fan-art album cover. I initially wanted to emulate the art styles of old Bollywood movie posters. Some items I wanted to feature in the art were all 11 members of the band, a starry sky (inspired by the bands’ most recent album cover), the colors of the Tibetan Prayer Flags (inspired by Far Cry 4), and the city of Melbourne (where the band was formed).

 

 

The Bombay Royale is easily one of the most unique and exciting bands creating music today. I hope this fan-art has inspired you to check out their music.
