The Bugs! Yeah, I Fuck’n Know What Ya Mean!

Portland | Jessie McCoy

If you haven’t heard The Bugs yet drop what you’re doing and go the their myspace (http://www.myspace.com/thebugsoogabooga) now! If you haven’t seen The Bugs yet, drop what you’re doing, go to their myspace, and find out when their next show is. I’m not kidding people, go now, what I have to say can wait.

Okay now that you’re back aren’t you glad you did that? They’re good aren’t they? Fun too, and oh so very catchy huh? In an age of a million local bands wanting to grace the stage, you are much more likely to see this two piece at your neighbor’s house party than any big venue. I’ve seen them live at least 5 times and only once was it on a stage higher than a foot. Which is part of why you gotta get out there and see them. They’re the real deal, two dudes who like to rock, and they want to do it with you.
The Bugs, aka Paul and Mike, are guitar and drums. Both switch between guitar, drums, and vocals without losing any momentum or goodness in the process. The music for the most part, is fast, poppy and full of life. I bet you can’t go an entire Bugs set without dancing. And if you can win that bet, I urge you to run out and get a sense of humor and some Prozac.
