After pursuing their individual studies, Sarun in Australia, Sudip in Nepal and Rockin in India, the band came together in 2003, this time Sandesh joining Sarun and Sudip to record the single “Aaudai Jaadai”. They got inspired by friends and family to record a whole album which the Uglyz’ completed in 2004. From contacting people and record companies to managing everything, they struggled throughout their album-making process.
“Rush”, the first album by the Uglyz’ was released on January 31, 2005. When the video of Aaudai Jaadai came on screen, teenagers’ hearts popped out of their ribcages, hostel T.V. rooms were pack-jammed with girls waiting to see the handsome lads with beautiful voices and everybody adoring their quality as well as creativity. One could anticipate that these guys were surely on the right track, for they possessed the attributes of true rockstars.
The album did tremendously well in the market – with CDs and cassettes miraculously disappearing from the store-shelves. Radio, TV, newspaper, the internet – you name it, they were omnipresent! The line-up was further solidified with Poojan (drums), Deepesh (bass) and Sachin (keyboards) getting into the front line of the Uglyz’. With the release of their second video Maya, they just grew bigger.
From sold-out concerts in the major cities of Nepal like Kathmandu, Pokhara and Dharan to charity shows, they gave out the best in them anywhere and everywhere. Their benevolence towards people earned them countless admirers, aficionados or simply, fans.
The Uglyz’ set an example of how perseverance and devotion can bring success. During rough times and good, they have always stuck together to entertain the audience and be entertained, because for them music is not merely a profession, but an ever-burning passion. The decorations of the Hits FM Music Award for the Best New Artist and the Image Award for the Best Music Video Special Effects just prove their promising caliber.
The Uglyz’ are not only good musicians but good-hearted human beings as well. For the numerous times they have inspired people and enthralled them by the sonic and optical extraordinariness, I salute thee, the Uglyz’!!!

basne thau chaina

Khate!!!
In the lyrics to The Uglyz's song Khate, the verses describe a difficult and bleak life. The first verse starts with the singer saying they are walking on the road, but with no place to live, no cows to tend, and no boats to ride. The second verse continues with the singer saying they beg for food day and night, are shunned and naked, and get beaten in the streets. The chorus then repeats these lines, adding emphasis with shouts of "hoooiiittt", while lamenting their difficult life, ending with the word "Khate", which translates to "callous" or "indifferent".
These lyrics speak to the societal and economic struggles faced by many in Nepal or other developing countries. The lack of basic necessities and the constant struggle to survive is a harsh reality for many people. The lyrics also suggest feelings of isolation, as the singer asks why they are treated this way and questions if anyone cares for them. The repeated use of the phrase "Khate" reflects the singer's cynicism and disillusionment towards a society that ignores their struggles.
