uglyhead

Born in Australia in 1980, The Uglyhead spent most of his childhood watching cartoons and learning how to draw from them. Always surrounded by sound he began making music with a cassette deck around age nine, reciting comic book dialogue and passages from books, then using these raw materials to pause edit himself into oblivion!!! Teen years brought The Uglyhead into the time honoured cliché of guitar abuse as well as beginning early fuck arounds with computers and sampling, exploring rythm and the sheer sonic extremes of noise and melody, much to the delight and annoyance (but mostly annoyance) of the people around him.In 2004 stirrings were first heard on record (under the name Blackletter) with the release of “Junk Extensions” on Sydney based indie Vibragun, and was released throughout the world. The ten song set, mostly recorded in single takes without additional tampering, was a quietly crafted tribute to a love of hiss slathered home recordings of old.Today, The Uglyhead Sound is a meaty, three eyed elastic bastard offspring of noise and beats that easily straddles the divides between electro, indie, ambient, noise, improv and experimental music while dollaping a healthy chunk of D.I.Y. attitude accross the top to create music that can be simultaneously spontaneous yet tightly structured.For The Uglyhead, art and music is an interpretive reflection of immediate surroundings and experiences, both real and imagined.So new stuff is indeed afoot! Here is a flyer I knocked up over the weekend fer the Amartyr boys' gig at Rosies on next satdy night. Fuckin' METAL!!!Hey Kids! Be a unique individual with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4!
