Wasted Pretty, a trio hailing from the Midwest, has been captivating audiences with their original tunes for the past three years. In an era where punk music continues to evolve, one band is making waves with their macabre yet playful sound.

Fronted by twins Ginger Sky, 21, as the lead singer and guitarist, and backup singer and bassist Joey Knauer, 21, the band also features seasoned drummer Joe Bauer, 26.

Known for their energetic performances, Wasted Pretty has amassed a repertoire of over 20 original songs, including fan favorites like “Vampires and Lipgloss,” “Serial Killer,” and “Look Out.” Their lyrics, often described as creepy yet fun, reflect a unique blend of humor and darkness that resonates with fans of all ages.

The band has performed at various venues and events, including the Monarch Festival in Ishpeming, the Cactus Menekaunee, and Butch’s Bar in Sturgeon Bay. A significant milestone for Wasted Pretty came when they teamed up with Pat mAcdonald, the renowned musician from TimBuk3, to produce their first album.

As Wasted Pretty continues to gain traction in the punk scene, they are currently working on new material and planning a series of upcoming performances. Fans can expect an exciting mix of fresh tracks and beloved classics as the band pushes the boundaries of their musical style.
