The Bughouse Five (or Bughouse 5) was formed in September, 1991 by the members of several of Vancouver's most notorious bands; The Nervous Fellas, The Rocking Edsels and Art Bergman, to name a few. For over 17 years The Bughouse 5 have enjoyed a devoted following in their home base of Vancouver BC. Their music a mix of rockabilly, blues, swamp rock, tex mex,beat inspired, true story blues poetry,and straight ahead,warts and all , rock 'n' roll, has won over audiences,from small and big town Canada,to big town U.S.A. giving their all at varied venues they've played. Trips across Canada and down the west coast and the U.S. southwest have proven that the band is much more than a local favorite. Now music fans as far east as St. John's, New Brunswick,as far north,as the Yukon Territory, and as far south as San Diego, and Austin Texas are affirming what Vancouver fans have known for a long time: The Bughouse 5 are still rocking and dedicated to perpetuating their love of North American roots rock. Over the years Bughouse Five have featured the talents of many of Canada's premier Rockabilly musicians including Ronnie Hayward, Scott Smith, Jeremy Holmes, to name just a few. So who are Bughouse Five these days? Vocalist Butch Murphy, was a member of one of Canada's premier rockabilly bands The Nervous Fellas as well as previously playing bass and/or singing with his brothers, Gene and Darren Murphy, in the Last Wild Sons, as well as playing bass with Herald Nix and Shelley Campbe
