John Dwyer Returns as Damaged Bug with New Track, “Bog Dash”, and New Album, “Bunker Funk”

Damaged Bug, “Bog Dash” (Castle Face)

Damaged Bug, the solo alter ego of Thee Oh Sees’ front man John Dwyer, returns with the the wigged-out funk of “Bog Dash”.  It’s a dialogue over analog:  b-movie aliens setting their laser blasters to ‘stun’ as ‘devoidoffunk’ backup yelps are devoured in a haze of dial-up modem blurps, a ‘last splash’ bassline and funky drummer drum loops.  In the middle of it all, Dwyer’s voice slinks lascivious, spitting enigmatic couplets as the aliens form a Soul Train line.  This is surely the tune running through James Brown’s mind as he sped down that lonely highway (reference for the kids).

“Bog Dash” is taken from the forthcoming Damaged Bug release, “Bunker Funk”, due March 10 from Castle Face.  Check for more on fbook.
