In capturing all that is great about well crafted vintage sound, The Ugly Beats is a testimonial to 60s garage rock’s canonical altar. Elegantly wrestling two offsetting guitars, one brightly polished and the other shamelessly bristled, and swirling in colorful Farfisfa organ sounds, vocals mirroring a top-shelf conglomeration of British Invasion frontmen, pulsing and pounding bass, and tight hitting drums, the quintet finely executes melodic hooks that stand the test of time. Their debut album, Bring on the Beats! has been said to nail what’s “right and fun about garage rock revivalism without getting suffocated under the weight of nostalgia” Austin Chronicle. While they evidently are settled in rock tradition (note the ever popular definite article), The Ugly Beats are blasting out of the past and finding a considerable local following that isn’t close to pushing 50. Find out what The Ugly Beats are all about during their live day shows at SXSW, doubling up on March 18th at Flamingo (1pm) and Antone’s Records (3pm), and topping it off the following evening March 19th at Beerland (10pm).
