Puggy, the new formidable band hailing from Brussels, Sweden and the UK are about to make an almighty wave on the UK’s indie shores.

Having already garnered an army of dedicated fans and MTV plays across Europe, Puggy have now fully outgrown their domestic musical surroundings and are set to kick-in the ears of indie kids and grown-ups alike in the UK.

Currently on tour supporting US mega-group Incubus on their 15-date European tour (at Incubus’ personal request) the band popped their festival cherries in summer 2005 with performances at Reading and Leeds festivals, and a year later performed a show-stopping set at the Benicàssim festival, Spain.

Prior to this they have played shows at nearly every sweaty underground London live venue, where they caught the attention and became a personal favorite of legendary live music promoter Vince Power. Vince then booked them to play gigs at prestigious venues such as the Jazz Café and Borderline, and also invited them to play Benicassim.

In early 2006, the band played a private showcase for legendary multi Grammy award-winning pro¬ducer, Steve Lillywhite (The Rolling Stones, Morrissey, U2, The Pogues). Steve was so impressed with the band that he encouraged them to record their soon-to-be indie anthem “The Luckiest Crime.”

With 14 tracks of remarkably catchy tunes, expect imminent radio airplay from this revelatory new band. Their premier musical offering is a melting pot of contemporary rock & acoustic pop adorned by astonishing melodies and lyrics filled with morbid irony. Tales of death, brothels & crime entwined into compositions that are simple, yet innovative, create a unique ambience and a level of musical maturity rarely attained on an introductory album.

“Simple Dreams” and “Out of Hand”, two songs from “Dubois Died Today” have already achieved national playlist on Belgium’s MINT, Radio 1 and FM stations. The music video for “Out of Hand” is also being broadcast across all music channels.

Puggy are currently on tour with Incubus until the 10th November.
