pretty/ugly is a group of musicians from springfield, MO that started as a duo of arin gilbert and tessa huckaba. They started writing songs in december of '05 when tessa moved back to springfield, MO from colorado after a 3 month retreat. tessa sings and plays rhodes while arin sings and plays guitar or piano. they have been playing around the world for a year and a half and they have had some great musicians playing with them and are sad that some are not with them as often
pretty/ugly, in some regards, is a collective indie pop band influenced by the likes of brown feather sparrow, low, denison witmer, mates of state, rosie thomas, ryan adams and pedro the lion. each of the members are songwriters individually and contribute songs for the band they also write songs as a band.
They released their first EP"flotsam/jetsam" in may of 2006 recorded and produced by Daniel Kirkpatrick of Studio 2100 in springfield, MO and are currently writing new songs and practicing to play some fun shows this summer and fall.
