Urusei Yatsura is a now defunct Glaswegian lo-fi rock band who created angular pop/rock music in the vein of Pavement.

Founding members Fergus Lawrie and Graham Kemp met in the summer of 1993 while attending Glasgow University. In the following drink-fuelled evening they convinced each other to join an imaginary band, which became reality when they also managed to recruit a bassist in Elaine Graham. The line up was completed with the subsequent addition of Elaine's brother Ian Graham on drums. They took their name from a then-obscure Japanese comic, and contributed their first recording Guitars Are Boring to a compilation released by the Kazoo Club (based in Glasgow's notorious 13th Note). This in turn brought them to the attention of John Peel who brought them in to do a session.
