People R Ugly

People R Ugly is an LA-based band that skillfully blends genres, seamlessly combining alternative rock and pop-punk with elements of hyper-pop. The band consists of Zak Dossi, Bill Biers, Julian Del Grosso, and Tristan Kevitch.

Drummer Tristan had a dream of performing in Los Angeles and spent two years reaching out to various venues until the iconic Whisky A Go-Go in West Hollywood offered him a slot. The only problem? He didn’t have a band. With just 10 days to assemble one, he quickly found bandmates, created a name, wrote original songs, and rehearsed.

Luckily, he discovered Zak on Instagram, who then introduced him to Bill and Julian. Together, they managed to sell out their very first show. Their whirlwind journey was documented on the Seek Discomfort YouTube channel, which has since amassed nearly half a million views.

Since their formation about two years ago, People R Ugly has played over 30 shows across Southern California, consistently selling out renowned venues like The Troubadour, Whisky A Go-Go, The Peppermint Club, The Viper Room, and Emo Nite at The Avalon.

Fresh off their first tour, a performance at Jingle Ball in NYC, and explosive social media growth, PRU is poised for a huge 2024—and they’re just getting started.
