Weird Ugly Fish (LT)

About

Weird Ugly Fish, the duo by Aistė Kalvelytė (drums) and Julius Čepukėnas (electronics) perform music that goes beyond genre boundaries. In their creative work, we can sense influences from various music styles, starting with free jazz, krautrock, punk rock, 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 duo’s first public performance happened in the summer of 2021. Since then, they have been actively performing in Lithuania and abroad, most notably at the Vilnius Mama Jazz Festival, the Lt.art Vienna Festival, the Claws Of Saurtopia Noise Fest, the Vilnius Jazz Festival, and the jazzahead! 2025. In October 2024, the band released their second album, Cannot Disappear. Photo: Rytis Šeškaitis
