The Pretty Ugly

The Pretty Ugly are a 3 piece group based in Yorkshire. The 80s obsessed Indie rockers, once described as looking like they 'met at a bus stop' aren't your average pop/rock group. A unique blend of indie/rock and past decade nostalgia breathe a new breath of life into the 20s that comes just as unexpected as it is needed. "With soaring harmonies and catchy melodies these guys have done something really special with that 80s throw back trend that has been going around" (Christan Carlisle - BBC introducing DJ Sheffield) The band play a massive range of styles and genres, from ABBA to Bon Jovi, The 1975 to The Strokes, Cyndi Lauper to Elton John; The Pretty Ugly are proud to have an extensive style of play that stretches to ALL audiences, young or old(er). 3-Piece original 80s Pop/Rock band from Yorkshire that can also perform a variety of covers and originals. Formed as young teenagers and have been making original music and performing covers since that young age. 80s influenced in many aspects of their music style and performance, creating big sounding tunes. James, the front man, is the lead singer and plays rhythm guitar, Joe is the Drummer and Dan plays keys and lead guitar - sometimes both at the same time. The band played a unique 'Amp Awards' battle of the bands competition back in 2016 and were crowned Yorkshire's best young band after succeeding and advancing through several knockout stages. The Pretty Ugly have moved from playing mostly original gigs to showcasing their musical talent into playing as a cover band, focusing on their much loved 80s era soundtrack and well known Pop and Indie tunes. TPU have quickly adapted to the cover band scene, playing countless events around the country. The Pretty Ugly love the response they get from playing well known songs to a very high and accurate level, this is one of the main reasons they are now focusing more on their cover-act game, aiming to play to a wider audience and create memorable shows for all who listen.
