Oxbow Live: The Bug Club with Snake Lips

* 21+ *

| The Bug Club |

The way you’re saying it, “prolific” isn’t the right word for The Bug Club. You’ve got to say it with the trademark Welsh lilt and pay due homage to this inimitable band’s origins in the renowned hit factory of Caldicot, South Wales. Do that, and you’re about right with how to summarize a group who’ve released ten singles, two albums, two EPs, three things nobody knew how to describe, and an album under a different band’s name, all since 2021, and while playing 200+ gigs a year.

The Bug Club is Tilly Harris (Bass, Vocals) and Sam Willmett (Vocals, Guitar). Their first offering for the label is “Quality Pints,” a track that deals with the pressing concerns of any conscientious touring outfit, taking to heart the rule of the three R’s as penned by renowned fellow pints fan Mark E Smith of The Fall: repetition, repetition, repetition. If it’s that important, which it is, it’s worth saying again.

| Snake Lips |

Snake Lips started off as the indie/ shoegaze solo project of Cody Mitchell during lockdown in 2020, and has evolved into an energetic indie rock/ punk band featuring Sam Ellis on guitar, Kara Auclair on bass and vocals, and DJ Nelson on drums. Snake Lips released their latest full length album ‘Cat Beach’ in July of 2025, via Southern Maine labels Repeating Cloud and Saco Valley United.
