After a huge 12 months of touring with DZ Deathrays, garage-rock four-piece Pretty Uglys released their debut album, Vicenarian, last week (7 March).
Alongside the album's announcement, the boys will commence a national headline tour — beginning on March 7th at Mojo’s in Fremantle — to celebrate its release.
These rockers from Perth released their first EP, Beach For Free, in 2018. Since then, Pretty Uglys have had singles such as Soak It Up and Pleased To Meet Ya soar on the Spotify charts.
Here’s a short, but sweet run through of the candid album from guitarist and lead vocalist Jaxon Alp.
