Uglyography
Since 2005, Uglyography has been recording and performing their own brand of “Quirkadelic Rock” throughout Hampton Roads and the East Coast. Their off-kilter punk and synth-influenced hooks and melodies are stronger than ever on their three new albums, triple released on the same day in November 2023.
Matthew Thomas, frontman and songwriter for the duo, is also a certified chess club director and coach. With the new album, Benjamin Blundercheck & The Poisoned Pawn, Thomas has taken his teaching to a whole new level with an entire album dedicated to chess concepts and strategy with fun and quirky storytelling grooves. On occasion, Uglyography hosts “Chess Riots” which combine a rock show with a full-on chess tournament.
Uglyography’s live performance is a multimedia spectacle with a projector backdrop and punchy lighting, accenting the catchy hooks and weirdness. Sam McDonald shreds guitar riffs alongside Thomas’ synth and bass. Selections from their new cover album, Quirkadelic Radio, are sprinkled in with Uglyography originals for a diverse and one-of-a-kind listening and viewing experience.
