Happy.

Originating in Valencia, CA and now located in Santa Cruz, CA, the Ugly Mugs have been around unnoticeably for about six years. Now, finally, they've become motivated enough to make a demo tape.

"Arbeit Macht Frei" represents the sound of the Mugs as well as any song possibly could. Their music stems from such influences as the Residents, Frank Zappa, Butthole Surfers, Iron Maiden, Spike Jones, and Renaldo & the Loaf. Not content with making music they know others will like, they've been doomed to obscurity until now.

The Ugly Mugs are:

Steve Grice: keyboards, vocals,
Jeff Patterson: guitar, vocals
Danny Johnson: guitar, bass, vocals

Their favorite farm animal is the mushroom.
