Weird Ugly Fish performs music that goes beyond genre boundaries. In their creative work one can sense influences from various music styles, starting with free jazz, krautrock, pankrock, including but not limited to IDM and ambient. The compositions of Weird Ugly Fish are long dynamic musical journeys that contrast improvisational elements with rigid constructions.

The first public performance by the Weird Ugly Fish happened in summer of 2021. Since then the duo has been actively performing in Lithuania and abroad, most notably: Vilnius Mama Jazz Festival [2024, Vilnius, Lithuania], Kanamaja Fest [2024, Tallinn, Estonia] , Lt.art Vienna Festival [2023, Vienna, Austria], Claws Of Saurtopia Noise Fest [2024, Leipzig, Germany], Vilnius Jazz Festival [2024, Vilnius, Lithuania]. In October 2024 the band released their second album “Cannot Disappear”. Album release was followed by video clip premiere. (Debut album “Legs Are for Swimming” was released in spring of 2023.)
