For over a decade 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. Written by the group’s vocalist Butch Murphy, “Put Me Through to Yesterday” closes their 1992 East Side records release “Solid”.

The song is not about drug addiction per but appears in the soundtrack Oddsquad’s 2006 documentary “Nitro: Guardian of the Night” about a police dog from the Vancouver K-9 squad that had died while persuing a car thief. The Bughouse 5 song was not only heard in the soundtrack of the film, but was also played at a funeral service for Nitro that garnered national media attention in Canada when 700 mourners comprised of police officers plus a number of dog handlers and their canine charges came from across B.C. and Washington state and as far away as Ontario to pay their respects at the ceremony in Vancouver's Seaforth Armouries.

While Murphy’s lonely ballad is over 15 years old, its proof that a good song stands the test of time.
