Ugly’s members met in 1984. The band used to practice at the bassist's garage. Ugly began playing at Podium, a local dive bar. The bassist was encouraged to play by his music teacher.

After paying their dues and opening shows for years, Ugly was signed to a record deal. The group's members all had odd jobs while they waited for their time to come. Ugly were convinced their hard work had paid off after their first single rose to the top of the charts. The group continues to play large venues, but still enjoys performing in smaller clubs on occasion.

Ugly finally realized they made it in 1981, when the band's first fan club was started by Barbara Lordi. The fan club quickly grew from a few dozen in Ann Arbor to a few thousand across the nation.

Ugly intends to take a break after the tour, to allow the group members to pursue other projects. The band is in the midst of the tour promoting for their newest project. Ugly's newest release has been heavily influenced by old R&B artists.

Generally critics will commend Ugly for their ability to rile up the crowd when they perform live. Omaha music critic Simon Greczkowski has always commended group’s terrific stage presence. Ugly’s new record is the band’s best album yet, according to the Burt DeCambra, a music critic from Biloxi.

Ugly seamlessly blends the songs from the past album with tracks from their new album. The band’s latest tour information, from Ugly tickets to concert schedule changes to seating charts, are all available on TheSeats.com.
