PrettyUgly - 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. PrettyUgly 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 Neves' brother J (Mohd Raziz Zainal Abidin), Fariz (Mohd Fariz Ahmad Shamsuddin) and Net (Nik Muhammad Histami Nik Mohammad Din).
However, when they signed a recording contract with KRU Records (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.
Note : Pls support them by buying their original album!!
