Some of you have noticed the recent lack of sonic uploads from Wud Records. This is due to some ongoing technical difficulties in Studio One which are more serious and cunningly formed than the technical difficulties ongoing in Studio Two and Studio Three. We hope to be able to solve all of these difficulties at some point fairly soon and will keep you updated in our news posts. Meanwhile, here is some music. Uh, wait a minute, no music. Here’s the sound of a bloke with a beard and a horrible jumper doing some hammering.

We are pleased to let you all know about two forthcoming dates that The Bastard Sons of Dennis will be playing. Both will be completely free to enjoy and they will be much longer shows than their normal hit-and-run performances.

First up is The Fuel Cafe, North Street, Exeter on Saturday April 2nd 2011. This is a lunchtime performance which starts at 12:00 and goes on until around 2:30, so be there early! You can enjoy a beautiful lunch whilst the terrible twins aid your digestion with their special brand of humour and virtuosity.

The second show we can tell you about will be on Saturday May 28th 2011 at the NBI, St Davids Hill, Exeter, and is an evening performance. We recommend that you arrive in reasonable time as it is likely to be busy. The show will begin around 8:30pm and will go on until around midnight.

We may be able to broadcast these shows live and direct. There will be further news on this topic soon. If no live broadcast is possible, we hope to be able to bring you some video and audio footage soon after the event.

In an effort to design the cover art to some of the unfinished and progressing Dark Company albums, we have found and uploaded an old batch of Pete’s artwork along with some pictures that he has created recently. You can see the latest additions to Pete’s gallery by clicking here.

After a recent return to form with their splendid recordings and some strong performances at The Hole in the Wall and the NBI, it would seem that our deranged duo will be performing some longer shows in the near future at the NBI and the Fuel Cafe. We will let you know more about these shows when they are confirmed. The next planned performance for The Bastard Sons of Dennis is for The Oddfellows on Monday 7th February.

We have begun the task of upgrading all the mp3s you can hear here at Wud Records from their bit rate of 192 kbps to 320 kbps for your enhanced listening enjoyment. We have uploaded the new improved mp3s from Dark Company’s recently remastered Signmaker album and will be doing the same upgrades to all of the mp3s here in due course.

In other news from Wud Records, we have some new video camera technology and hope to be able to broadcast a live webcam from our studios here, as well as an assortment of other Wud action as and when possible. More news on this will be posted here soon.

The latest recording from The Bastard Sons of Dennis has been uploaded to their page here at the Wud Records website. The song is a cover of Redeemed by Blue Oyster Cult. You can listen to the song at their studio page by clicking here and we added it to our default player as well so you might hear it at many pages here.
