BUGZ IN THE ATTIC - Crawdaddy - Saturday September 23rd
Doors: 8pm.
Tickets : €17.50 euro
Debut Album – Back in the Doghouse Out Now on V2
"a celebration of everything joyful, positive and inventive about British music" Observer Music Monthly
"Besides taking cues from classic new-school London albums from Soul II Soul and Basement Jaxx, the Bugz also take in large dollops of Prince-like old-school funk and soul." Irish Times
Bugz In The Attic has always been many things to many people. A modern day JBs, mysterious lynchpins of one of the most progressive scenes in dance music, masters of the remix with a knack for turning the mainstream into the masterful, and creators of one of 2004s stand out singles in 'Booty La La'. Never, however, in their ten-year history have they managed to put aside the inherent issues of nine man-deep musical opinion, personal differences, alter-egos, and just plain egos to create a concise LP of original Bug-funk.
'Back In The Dog House' is the boiled down brew of over 90 demos that the Bugz have variously been working on together, individually, secretly and obsessively since Paul 'Seiji' Dolby, Alex Phountzi, Kaidi Tatham, Cliff Scott, Daz I-Kue and Orin 'Afronaught' Walters first met over a drum machine at the latter's attic/studio/den in the late 90s. One listen and it becomes clear the record represents some of the most soul-drenched and low-slung sweet soul music and gritty house to have hit since Nuyorican Soul's landmark album of the same period. While the MAW opus was steeped in a musical history that perhaps held its more interesting experimental moments back, however, Bugz In The Attic let loose with an array of largely unsung collaborators to hone an album that works best as a whole but is still littered with hooky singles – the direct opposite of most of today's dance long players.
