Fuelled on a daily diet of Blue Kangaroo carcass, and flooring four to the floor, Australian Rock n' Roll Warriors BugGiRL deliver a brand of rock that cracks through the burnt earth of their barren homeland. Following the dusty footsteps of their Rockin' Ancestors AC/DC, Rose Tattoo and The Divinyls, BugGiRL are a band of attitude, guts and glory. Rock n' Roll Hell, their August 2008 release (Cargo Records/Middle Class Pig Records), is a supercharged force of Guitar, Drums and Vocals blazing down the Highway to Hell. With a definite AC/DC influence, BugGiRLs sound also fires off comparisons to Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy and Motley Crue. Pretty solid acclaim most 4-piece bands would be proud of...
· The 2008 Fire Highway Tour includes Wilwarin Festival (supporting Danko Jones), Gentse Feesten in Belgium, Clanx Festival in Switzerland.
· The 2007 Road of Rock n' Roll Hell was a ride fast and wild, free and easy. Through over 100 European shows between May-Dec, BugGiRL made thousands of new fans, including Texas Terri Bomb! who immediately added BugGiRLs drummer Mallets Of Mayhem to their line-up. Shows & festivals followed with The Damned, Ignite, The Bones, Demented-Are-Go & more, through Germany, Spain, Switzerland, France & Scandinavia.
· This most powerful of duos were recently featured alongside Wolfmother on 2006s Kooky 10 Compilation, and have been requested for and played shows with Doom Foxx, Zombie Ghost Train, Tourettes, Die! Die! Die!, The Follow, Van She, and Faker.
· BugGiRLs 2004 debut Looming Shadows (BigWig Records) featured single Suck It recorded by Richie Lewis from Tumbleweed.
· An EP was recorded in 2005 by Al Wright, responsible for INXS (Listen Like Thieves) and RATT (Reach For The Sky) among many others. BugGiRL finished 2005 touring EU, UK & USA, with a highlight show at New Yorks legendary CBGB.
BugGiRL are a sister/brother psychic rock connection. Fronted by BugGiRL on blazing guitar & flaming vocals, and Mallets of Mayhem unleashing the fury on his fiery drum kit of death, they continue to fight for the glory of rock ...an indestructible force known as BugGiRL.

"I don't know what they feed 'em in Australia but in any case the bush-air seems to be quite energizing...why have 4 members if it works with 2! HIGH VOLTAGE!"

"BugGirl is an Australian hard rock duo that is in the middle of a European tour and as Thor the Hammer God is my witness they rock the Walpole to its very foundations. The pair are tighter than a proverbial ducks arse in water and with the feisty vixen singer/guitarist BugGirl herself they have the epitome of an in-yer-face rock bitch that makes Brody Dalle look like tinkerbell. AC/DC High octane rock riffing, classic 80s rock guitar solo's behind the head, ... they emerge from the shadows like a giant swamp monster. It's the sound of Nick Oliveri pounding Jon Spencer's head against a bass drum. They've made tonight their own."
