Pretty Ugly, Rock, Funk, Psychedelic band

Quite ugly or pretty BUT ugly? However you may want to interpret it, they chose the name as it's "catchy, unique and easy to remember". Well, it definitely is.
Pretty Ugly introduced their unique brand of psychedelic rock and they have been around since 1997, going by the name Seven back then. The vocalist, Raizan Zainal Abidin goes by the name Neves (that's pronounced 'nervous' without the 'r'), which is actually Seven spelt backwards, as "a reminder of the group's origins". There's also J (Mohamad Raziz Zainal Abidin), Nett (Nik Muhammad Histami Nik Mohammad Din) & Juad (Ikhwan Ajwad Rawyani).
However, when they signed a recording contract with KRU Music (after going from one recording company to another - none of which accepted their musical style), they changed their band name (Seven) as the Indonesian band Sheila On 7 became a big hit among Malaysians then. Not wanting to be accused of cashing on Sheila On 7's success story, they opted for the name PrettyUgly - a name that would raise eyebrows for sure.
A weird name for a band - but wait till you check out the song titles in their debut effort, Abstrak Versi Fantasi, released in 2001. The titles range from En Ronald Moore, CD Bagasi Honey, Analogi Berdialog to Rontak. Each song has a distinct 'psychedelic' flavor with lots of sound effects thrown in for good measure. Plus quirky lyrics as well.
En Ronald Moore was their first single and it caused a mild stir within the entertainment circle. A week before the press conference to introduce PrettyUgly, the media were shocked to receive a newspaper cutting from KRU Music about a man in Dallas who made (or rather forced) his six- year-old son to shoot him in the head. The controversial (actual) news piece turns out to be the lyrics of the song. Neves actually took the news article word by word and made an interesting song out of it.
