"Blood, Sweat & Beers"... The title says it all. This is the new EP release from BugGiRL. Let me tell ya, they’ve lived it. "Blood, Sweat & Beers" is the victorious result of 3 unrelenting years on the road. 3 years bleeding, sweating and raising glasses with Rock n' Roll followers across the globe. The EP contains some of the most controversial inner-sleeve artwork since Guns n' Roses "Appetite for Destruction".
Produced by Mark Opitz (AC/DC’s "Powerage", "Let There be Rock" & Rose Tattoo’s "Blood Brothers"). Mark Opitz has captured the nasty bight of BugGiRL’s Australian Pub Rock sound. An awesome retro, party rock recording, with huge sounding vintage Les Pauls and blazing walls of Marshall’s.
"BugGiRL are gonna be HUGE!!" (Mark Opitz – Producer of AC/DC’s "Powerage" & "Let There Be Rock").
One look at the tour schedule of BugGiRL will show you exactly how hard working these guys are. They give it all for Rock n' Roll... every last drop of "Blood, Sweat & Beers". Jumping on a plane from their Australian home in May 2007, the power-duo headed for the UK & Europe spending the next 8 months touring the continent. Living only in their tour van and eating roadside scraps and small insects, they covered a distance of over 180,000km, playing over 100 shows to over 30,000 fans. Surviving on Rock n' Roll alone. No roadcrew. No support team. No tears. Just gallons of "Blood, Sweat & Beers"... and they had a fuckin great time doin’ it too! So did their fans!... BugGiRL are an old-school breed of road warrior. Old school Rock work ethics, with an old school Rock sound. They are Rock n' Roll Road Warriors from Hell.
After an outback tour in the Australian summer of 2008, road worn siblings Amber & Clinno hit the international highways for another round in 2008. Throughout their international travels they have played Wacken showcases and Popkomm festivals and have toured alongside The Damned, The Germs, The Bones, Mad Sin, Danko Jones, Brant Bjork, Nick Oliveri, Doro, Girlschool, Peter Pan Speedrock & Texas Terri Bomb.
UK giants of media love BugGiRL. Impressed by the band’s no bullshit attitude towards rock, blazing guitars tones & fun rockin’ party vibe, long time fan Malcolm Dome invited BugGiRL for a special guest appearance on Total Rock Radio London. Legendary UK Rock magazine, Classic Rock featured BugGiRL on the Cover mount CD alongside The Datsuns, Airbourne, Stone Gods, The Donnas, Saxon and Rose Tattoo. (Nov 2008 issue).
Celebrating the release of new EP "Blood, Sweat & Beers”, BugGiRL hit USA/UK & EU from March 2010, touring until December 2010. Turning every town on it’s head, making friends, fans and Rock n' Roll parties everywhere they go. "Blood, Sweat & Beers" is a pure piece of Australian Pub Rock history, featuring 5 Solid Rock Classics, emerging from the snot and guts of beer-soaked pub carpets and blistering down the sunburnt desert highway. "Blood, Sweat & Beers" will glass your face, hit on your girlfriend, start a free for all - all out brawl, slap ya on the arse and ride off into the morning desert sun...Catch 'em while you can!
