5.0 out of 5 stars Best Live Show Ever!, September 28, 1999

By A Customer

Unlike the most watered down bands, the Ugly Americans stand alone. Not only are these guys very talented musicians, they are also very talented artists. Bob Schneiders' vocals are what Rock'n'Roll is suppose to be: fun, exciting, in your face and sometimes down right offensive. I've seen these guys live atleast 20 times and it is never boring. No looking at your watch to see what time it is. They also have some CD's under the group name of "The Scabs." However, Amazon.com has CD's from some other band called "The Scabs." Go to uglyamericans.com, and there is a link to buy the real s**t! If you ever get a chance to see them live, don't miss the best show you'll ever see. It would be worth taking a trip to Austin where they play every Tuesday @ midnight at Antone's.

5.0 out of 5 stars poppin! Austin band lights a fire under your pants, August 17, 2000

By	Jennifer Ota (San Diego, Ca United States) - See all my reviews

I have seen this band out when I am visiting in Austin, along with all of their other bands, the Scabs, and Lonelyland where they play at the local Saxon Club every monday night. These guys are tight, and the vocal ability that Bob Schneider brings to all his work with his talented posse is amazing. You have to have an open mind and an ability to see all the fun facets of all their integration of styles. Look past the dirty words. Who cares? You hear more language stuck on the freeway in heavy traffic anyway. Check out Lonelyland as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funky Crimes!, July 14, 1999

By A Customer

Thank God someone picked up where the first Red Hot Chilli Peppers album left off. The Uglies, however, have taken this type of music several steps further with their inventive use of an all-too-American James Brown / Booty Collins / Austin Slacker / Hippie swank. I've seen these guys several times in concert, and their albums thankfully carry the same in-your-face punch as the live shows. I highly recommend this and the other two albums ... I also would highly recommend seeing these boys when ever possible.
