The Bug Club

The Bug Club play Hare And Hounds in Kings Heath on Wednesday 2 December, with the music starting at 19:30. It's a single-act bill, so they're the only name on the poster for the night.

They're a garage-rock trio from Caldicot, in Monmouthshire, Wales, and they've been at it since 2016. They didn't start out with the sound they're known for now; the early days were all about the blues, and it took a few years for that to shift into the contemporary indie rock they're playing these days. They're signed to Sub Pop now, and the current line-up is Sam Willmett and Tilly Harris. They describe their own sound as wall-to-wall riffs and non-stop feel-good rock 'n' roll, which gives you a fair idea of what to expect: plenty of guitar and a high-energy approach rather than anything subdued.

If you're planning to go, there's one practical thing to keep in mind: the show is for ages 14 and over, so it's not one for the very young. The venue is Hare And Hounds, 106 High Street, Kings Heath, Birmingham B14 7JZ. Tickets are £18.60, and the night kicks off at 19:30.
