"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.
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 30,000km, 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, Nick Oliveri, Brant Bjork, 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 Malcome 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!

"Loud, fast, sleazy, it sounds BugGiRL. With titles referring to speed, motor oil, sweat, blood and beer
and lots of fun. It's got everything that rock is made of...taking you back to very, very early Gunners"

'Rock n' Roll Hell', takes on a courageous instrumentation, for a sound that is full on."

"For an amalgam of a rock woman, minimalism, mangy and dirty garage punk blues, look no further
than the Down Under duo BugGiRL. With a significant Rock factor, even the cover fits like a fist to the
