The Ugly Beats United States
Biography
Revivalism? Not really. The Ugly Beats dress, play, and rock like 1967's still giving off heat waves of love. The local quintet has carved out a sweaty niche in Austin's garage, slapping on go-go boots, igniting dance parties, and lamenting the hot death of wax through their own high energy twist and shout. 2003 saw their formation - frontman/guitarist Joe Emery, organist Jeanine Attaway, guitarist Jake Garcia, drummer Stephen Austin, and bassist Jason Gentry - from the ashes of local bands like Sir Finks and the Shakewells.
