Great independent venue with good vibes, friendly staff and NO plastic glass policy. Real ale on offer - a rarity these days in venues........the band are very good - but - they could be so much better if they upped the vocal volume. Seen em twice now - both times with underwhelming vocal levels. The music's great though!!!!!

“If you ever wondered what Tiny Tim might have sounded like fronting AC/DC, have a listen. It’s 100% fun.” - Dusted

The Bug Club’s On the Intricate Inner Workings of the System is out now worldwide from Sub Pop. The album, which features feel-good ditties “Quality Pints” “Lonsdale Slipons,” “A Bit Like James Bond,” and “We Don’t Care About That,” was produced and mixed by Tom Rees at Rat Trap Studios in Cardiff, Wales, and mastered by Mikey Young.

On the Intricate Inner Workings of the System sees the band serve up a beefy slab of their signature Modern-Lovers-meets-Nuggets garage rock, featuring B-52’s call-and-response fun mixed with AC/DC power chord grunt

What people are saying about The Bug Club’s On The Intricate Inner Workings Of The System:

“On The Intricate Inner Workings Of The System... is lean and mean. Recorded with Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard’s Tom Rees at his Rat Trap studio in Cardiff, its 11 songs crackle with incisive melodies and funny pop culture-addled lyrics – they reference The Great Escape’s Virgil Hilts one minute, and move on to the horror of Lonsdale slip on daps the next – but they’re in and out in under 26 minutes. Zero fat.” - NME

“Their chemistry and unique, often very funny, point of view make these songs stand out and highly replayable.” “Indie Basement” / “Album of the Week” - Brooklyn Vegan

“...it’s swollen with post-punk that cuts through the bubblegum-coated noise of this summer’s pop extravagance.” PASTE

“It’s rare for a band to be funny in exactly this way while delivering a record that genuinely rips.” See/Saw

British Birds - DIY Melancholic Psych-Pop band from the north of England: Chorley based British Birds is a musical collaboration with a DIY ethic and nostalgic charm; culminating in catchy hooks, lullaby-like melody and sobering melancholy. Ex members of Cactus Knife, Mums and Big Pixie bring timeless psych-rock with hints of Neutral Milk Hotel, The Vaselines and Ty Segall.
