Биография

The Ugly Ducklings were one of Canada’s first totally independent bands and stayed together for 39 years (1965 – 2004), releasing 8 LPs and 1 EP. Their strength was in their songwriting and a very rough and ready style of Rock. (which later came to be known as ’Garage’). They produced all of their own records except for 2 singles on the Yorktown label, which were produced by Grammy winner Brian Ahern, and their last album S.N.A.F.U. which was produced by Juno & Grammy winner Peter J. Moore. Their self-produced first album, ‘Somewhere Outside’ is a classic of the ‘garage’ genre, and was voted #72 in the Top 100 Canadian Albums of all time for the book of the same name in 2007. During the down-time in-between the ‘Ducks’ many ‘comebacks’, their lead singer Dave Bingham continued to record and perform with many other bands in both Canada and Mexico.
