The Ugly Beatniks is actually the well known Greek garage band The Sound Explosion. This was set-up as a secret gig (with the true identity of the band not known until the show started).

The Sound Explosion - Garage Rock band formed in May 1991 in Athens, Greece. The line-up was John (vocals, 6 and 12 string Vox guitar, harmonica), Jim (Eko bass, backing vocals), Stelios (Farfisa organ, maracas, backing vocals) and Stavros (drums, tambourine). They disbanded in early 1997 but in 2009 they got back together again. The line-up is the same except for the organ, which is now handled by Stelios Askoxylakis, who replaced Stelios Drissis, who now resides in Belgium. They still play that old 60's styled garage/punk. Since they've been back in action, they've done gigs in Athens, in Salonica and Italy.
