The Uglyz is a Nepali pop rock band, formed in 1995 at Little Angels' School, Lalitpur, Nepal.[1]

History

In 1995, Sarun Tamrakar (vocalist) and Sudip Tamrakar (guitarist), both students of Little Angel's School, came together to form a school band called "The Uglyz". The band was complete when Rakin Lal Shrestha (the drummer) joined them.

The band separated when they started to pursue college abroad. Sarun went to Australia, Sudip continued studying in Nepal and Rakin left to India. After their studies, they returned to Nepal, and the band reformed in 2003. With the support of their families and friends, they decided to release their maiden album. On January 31, 2005, they released their first album "Rush", which touched many Nepalese teenagers and adults.[2] They released their second album In Transit (2011).

Sarun Tamrakar and Payal Shakya may not be familiar names to many Australians, but within the Nepali community, many see the Nepal-born couple as charitable volunteers.

“I feel blessed to be living in harmony with our small Nepali community,” says Payal, a former beauty queen of life with her musician husband and young son in Sydney.

It was only in 2003 when he got permanent residency and returned to Nepal on holiday, that his musical journey leapt forward.

“It was then, rather than wasting time, we decided with our friends to record an album,” Sarun Tamrakar told
