About Me

On a particularly nasty night at the Cleveland Music Festival in 2003, two Midwestern bands (Bridge and Outspoken) performed on the Agora stage to a rowdy rock n roll crowd. After the show, Geo Teubl (Bridge) and Frank Green (Outspoken) drunkenly fought in the parking lot, solidifying a friendship in only the way excessive amounts of Southern Comfort and rock star antics can.
Two years later Outspoken broke-up and the guitarist (Kevin McCreery) contacted Geo Teubl after hearing Bridge had also parted ways. The two began writing immediately and after their first jam session with Donnie Highland (drums, Outspoken) and Frank Green (bass guitar, Outspoken), the band Ugly was formed. Front man, Geo Teubl said, We had an immediate chemistry, mutual admiration for each others sound, and most importantly we all wanted to put the art back in party with raw rock ! With less than a year under their belt, Ugly already has an impressive fan base all across the Midwest. Born from the blue-collar smoke stacks of Detroit, Michigan, Ugly is stitched from the same thread as infamous Detroit rockers such as Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent and Kid Rock. Heavy, shredding guitars riffs combined with slamming, skin penetrating drum beats meet Geo Teubls vocals that sound as if Ronnie Van Zant, Danny Joe Brown and Jim Morrison just shared a bottle of whiskey and are singing from the bottom of their ugly souls.
Uglys live performance is the groups strongest suite, according to Teubl people come to our shows to experience straight forward rock n roll and have a good time, well play to whoever and well blow them away! Uglys concerts are packed with fans from the dirty part of each town. From bad boy bikers to women who look seconds away from a mud wrestling pit, along with the occasional midget, Uglys fans are varied but fiercely loyal to this nasty band. The band has finished recording their debut release and is scheduled for release in 2007. Rick Parashar produced the album tenatively named "Ugly" and is full of good old fashioned, in your face rock and roll!Look out cause 2007 is gonna get Ugly!......and the story continues..... stay tuned for MORE ugly details coming soon.......
