Geeky high school marching band according to NOW magazine. But are they right? You make the call.
The Ugly Bug Band is just plain fun, no capital "f" or nothing, just a good time with clarinets and trombones and trumpets. They got together because something was lacking in their lives, or because imminent adulthood had made everyone take themselves too seriously. The Bugs don't do that. In fact, the Ugly Bug Band is the perfect band to be playing at a friendly, no-attitude party, you know, the kind that you and your friends show up at, and you don't know anyone at first, and then the rug gets shoved back and everyone's dancing with goofy grins on their faces and pretty soon you're just one of the gang, smiling at all your new friends.

Good evening ugly bug people. Not so ugly at all, really, are you. Really nice stuff here. Polly says you sound like an orchestra of hep cats with a real thing going on. We hope we run into you sometime in this not really large town.
Thanks for bein' pals, and take our wish for your good fortune now and in time to come.
