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 members include Zak Dossi, Bill Biers, Julian Del Grosso, and Tristan Kevitch. Drummer Tristan had a dream of performing in Los Angeles and spent two years contacting different venues until the iconic Whisky A GoGo in West Hollywood offered him a slot. Without a band, Tristan had to quickly find bandmates, create a name, compose original songs, and rehearse, all within a tight deadline of just 10 days. Luckily, he discovered Zak on Instagram, who then introduced him to Bill and Julian. Together, they had sold out their very first show. The story is documented on the YouTube channel, Seek Discomfort, which has amassed around half a million views. Since their inception about two years ago, they have played over 30 shows throughout SoCal, consistently selling out well-known venues such as the Troubadour, Whiskey A Go-Go, The Peppermint Club, the Viper Room, and Emo Nite at The Avalon.
