We Are Busy Bodies

The Bug Club’s name does a good job of introducing the band &amp; their music: a tight-knit, collaborative effort focused on telling tales of the everyday that we often take for granted, shot through with humour &amp; riffs-a-plenty. Imagine Jonathan Richman bought a really big amp &amp; a time machine &amp; found himself somewhere on the Nuggets compilation. Or perhaps Ray Davis palled up with Sterling Morrison, got really into The Minutemen &amp; agreed that songs need not be longer than two minutes. Then, maybe, you’re almost where the Welsh three-piece are coming from. The creative trio of Sam Willmett (guitar/vocals), Tilly Harris (bass/vocals) and Dan Matthew (drums) formed The Bug Club in 2016 in the little-known rock n' roll hotbed that is Caldicot, Monmouthshire. Following relentless gigging in their local area, The Bug Club were picked up by Bingo Records &amp; released their first proper single - ‘We Don’t Need Room For Lovin’ - in February 2021. It garnered immediate acclaim, with BBC 6 Music’s resident tastemaker Marc Riley playing it a few times a week ever since &amp; booking them in for a post-lockdown live session right off the bat. The announcement of the EP ‘Launching Moondream One’ followed - as did the release of second single ‘Checkmate’, with which came a similar level of radio airplay. And then the same again for the EP's title track. First and foremost a live band, the band record as a group quickly, capturing the energy &amp; sound of the gigs that make them such a popular fixture on the live circuit. Watch out for them at a gig near you soon, as bookings are coming thick and fast. RIYL: The Modern Lovers, The Wave Pictures, The Vaselines, The Velvet Underground, The Kinks.
