Pug Fuglies
Pug Fuglies is a surrealist adventure through repugnance, beauty, silliness and the obscure, designed for escapism and just plain old fun.
Why this name?
"Pug fugly" was actually a quote from Moe Sizlack of The Simpsons fame.
Do you play live?
Pug Fuglies currently exists purely in electronic form; a live show would be dodgy at best.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The Internet has made music as a whole incredibly accessible to the masses. Many forgotten musicians, or musicians who are relatively obscure, now have a voice.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I don't see a major label being interested in experimental instrumentals, but if they were I would definitely show interest, so long as my creativity wasn't stifled.
Band History:
I didn't start composing music until 2003, creating unlistenable garbage. I was briefly collaborating with fellow musician Noise Nazi under the name Necrosadisticorpse, before parting ways and trying to develop my own style. In 2007 I began to teach myself music theory and found interest in emulating a number of different music styles.
Your influences?
I've been rabid metal fan for around 10 years now, so distorted guitars (in synthesized form) tend to make their way into a lot of my music. However, I'm, also big on Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart, so there's a strong "zany" aspect to a lot of Pug Fuglies tunes. Other styles of music, such as new wave, hip hop, industrial and noise, often show up in Pug Fuglies. In the last year The Residents have shown up as an inspiration.
Favorite spot?
Anywhere I've never been.
