Looks like they’ve signed to Sub Pop, which is lovely news.
And they’ve got a new song called Quality Pints, which is about as good as you’d expect a Bug Club song called that to be
What a good band

So fun, better live than on album. Saw them supporting BODEGA, their own headline show last year, and think they’re one of the top acts for the Psych Fest in autumn
Sad about the drummer change but seems for good reasons so no real issue

Forgotten they were playing psych fest. I get to see them twice this summer! Possibly.

They keep playing the Netherlands and I keep missing them. Need to rectify that asap, great band.

My ex-bandmate messaged me about this lot last week. Never expected them to be his thing but apparently his kids are well into it. Quality Pints is a particular favourite. Two kids, both under 5 singing about quality pints.

No idea what I’ll be doing in May, but hopefully it’s this. Walking distance from my house.

I enjoy that they start the set with the “soundcheck song” which has breakdown moments of each instrument to get the levels right. Good gig, despite the sweltering temperature in De Nijverheid and the sound not being quite as good as the other venues in the city.
Highlight was a track I didn’t recognise in the centre which involved some high-speed sing / shouting from Sam & Tilly sequentially interspersed with some hair metal level noodling between each part. Not sure if it’d transition well on recording but was great live.
By the end I was a bit done though, there’s not enough variation in the sound to keep you wanting more than an hour and they played for over 90 minutes.
Was quite surprised at the audience too, seemed to be about 50/50 between people around 50 years old or 20 years old, almost nothing in between.
Good band though, probably wouldn’t go see them again unless it was at a festival or something, but glad I went.

Loving the new album. They essentially write the same song over and over again but that works for me. Near perfect album length too at 42 minutes.

Discovered these through the new album, which is really lovely.
But even better was discovering the old promo video for Quality Pints where the guy does a backwards T-stop in an old pair of aggressive skates (Rollerblade TRS). Any time I see aggressive skates in popular culture these days it makes me happy. One day they’ll make a come back.
