The Bug Club: My Baby Loves Rock & Roll Music

Track of the Week - 6 November 2022

A rare bit of live music this week*. I went to Reading's Face Bar with my friends Ben and David to see The Bug Club.

Ben had recommended their 2021 album Pure Particles a while back and as we'd all enjoyed it a hop along the M4 was in order.

You can get a fuller review from David** but my short summary is that they were great. The record has a 60s lo-fi feel about it in places but they certainly mined a much rockier groove live and that suited them well too.

The album is that good it's hard to pick a favourite to represent them here. As they rocked, let's go with My Baby Loves Rock & Roll Music but if you've got time (20 minutes or thereabouts) give the whole thing a listen.




* That actually makes it four gigs this year! The most since the five in 2010.
**I wouldn't write off support act Holiday Ghosts though. I thought they had some decent songs.
