Retrospectives

Mayo Thompson, 1999[2]

The Familiar Ugly just grew out of a collision of artistic and social reasons. We had lots of friends and interesting people coming along and playing with us. When Steve Cunningham joined us we discovered we could do it ourselves, so after recording Parable we decided to dismantle The Familiar Ugly.
