They are faces that show years of musical confidence. The band boasts some of Central Illinois finest talents in the musical arts and performance. Yes, they are a Rock and Roll band and aren't afraid to show it. But, they are all very diverse musicians as well and that certainly shows in the music that they cover.

What does this mean, you ask? Well.. you will get one of the truly most memorable & entertaining shows around. UHD thinks of every show as an actual "concert". That's what people want & expect. "We only use the best sound, lights, stage gear. We don't settle for "sub-par" in our gear or our performance", states Dan Tremblay, bassist of the band. He also states, "I love this band. This is definitely one the best bands I've ever been in. We give our 120% & I think it shows."

When it comes to the songs they perform, there is virtually no limit on what these guys can pull off. They're know for doing anything from Elton John to Avenged Sevenfold & Pantera. Keeping the dance floor moving along with maintaining a steady flow of music is their main goal. "Yes, we love to play the heavier music, but each place we play may call for different types of music. We try to read the crowd and cater to what they're looking for. We want people to have a great time at our show." says drummer/singer Gary Shaine Horrie. "Also, we want to get people moving right from the start."

The band was formed from 2 veterans of the Central Illinois music scene, Josh Thompson and Gary Shaine Horrie. They both have played in MANY bands around the area & beyond. Prior to The unHandsome Devils, gary was the drummer for the Nashville band "Hot Action Cop" who was signed to Atlantic (Lava) Records. Both have played in other bands such as Uncle Pucker, The Shake, StepDown among a few. From the inception of the band, a few small alterations were made in the line up, they found themselves as a 4pc with the profoundly amazing TJ Duckwiler on guitar & non other than Dan Tremblay on the bass.

The name "The unHandsome Devils" was a play off the original concept of "The Handsome Devils" which was meant in the context of humor. Unfortunately, the general consensus did not seem to take it this way. It was then decided to take the complete opposite approach with the name. The band has a sense of humor on and off stage and it shows.
