Long,Tall and Ugly

About Me

Loose and bold rock and roll. Rob, Joe and Eli play rock built from blues and country with overtones of punk and psychedelia. Often, it's sounds as though a rocket is taking off. Live, they catch hold of something, explore it and explode. You never quite know what to expect with a Long,tall and ugly show. Just that it will blow your mind.Catch the boy's as they play their new singles, "Paper Doll",'Today's the Day","This ain't the time" and 'Move it,baby".http://cdbaby.com/cd/longtallugly
