They are three. They draw their inspiration from the soft whirr of Massey Ferguson in calmer times. They spread joy and good feeling as they go. They are the UGLY BUGGY BOYS: Nick on drums, Averell on guitar and vocals, Holly on double bass.
Their music?
It isn't Reggae, it isn't Ska. It isn't Twist or Disco. It's certainly not Techno. What then do these merry minstrels play? Their sound isn't really Country. It isn't really Swing or Hillbilly. Neither is it Rockabilly or Ragtime, but it's close to all of these. The UGLY BUGGY BOYS play the Hard Rock of the 20s, or possibly the Western Swing of tomorrow. But let's leave the purists with their sterile debates, which we need consider no longer. Belgium rocks with The Ugly Buggy Boys - a first-rate Boy Band.
The Ugly Buggy Boys bring a freshness to their Rock 'n' Roll. Their mongrel style of music is wild and reckless, uplifting, warped, timeless, spontaneous and FUN. Their electroacoustic formula is far away from modern production techniques and is so much better for it. Their compositions emerge as a subtle blend of the best of Swing, Hillbilly, Country Blues and Boogy.
That nothing should be taken at face value is reflected in the cover of their Album. The band was born on the evening of Halloween, 2000. Some 70 insane concerts and a CD of 6 titles later, they have invested all the corn put aside in the production of "Yoddle Hey Hee Hoo", distributed by Bang! March 2003.
