Film Series: bugoff! at Beat Kitchen, 1/31/2026
It'd been a minute since I'd seen @_bugoff_ (since 11/30/24 to be exact) so I was stoked to see them on the bill for the homies' debut album release show at the very end of Jamuary (which was a typo, but tbh January legit was full of jams, so it's stayin'!) 😃🐞 It is no easy task to play between great bands like Doomzday Slutz and Pure Intention, but bugoff! have been doing it a looooong time now, have a good handle on the catalog, and have a strong presence up on stage that keeps the people engaged from the city to the suburbs and beyond! 🌌
As the crowd really started to fill in for this Saturday night showcase, the band got people loose, staring to move, and moving each other by the end of the set: DOING THEIR DANG JOB 👷♂️🎸 working to get the audience rowdy and riled for the headlining set and doing it on their own terms 🕺🤼♂️ Thanks for a great set guys-- hope to do it again sometime soon! 🗓🎶
Thank you to @cafilmlab for devving and scanning all of the film from this show, amazing work as always 🙏🧪🎞
