The Bastard Sons of Dennis have a new page with a couple of youtube videos from their recent performance at The Black Horse on December 17th. The first three minutes or so of the first one is of largely tuning up and so on, so you can skip all of that if you wish.

We have also embedded their Twitter stream into their homepage so you can follow them easily if you wish. By following them on Twitter (they have the doubly profane name BastardSoD) you can hear from the duo directly.

Andy’s finger is almost as good as new now, so that is a blessing. It is not certain when they will be making their next live appearance although we can confirm that it will be fairly soon and we shall keep you updated here.

Another alpha mix from the Ghost of the Art by Dark Company has been uploaded for you to enjoy. This song is Stuck on You, and is perhaps the most challenging song on the album from a vocal perspective. There are a number of things that are not right with it yet and the quality of the upload is fairly poor but it gives a rough idea of where this one is going. Only four more songs to complete the Ghost of the Art album and we hope to achieve that target next week.

Two more songs have been uploaded to Dark Company’s Ghost of the Art collection, those being Desperado and Mighty Diamond. These are alpha mixes in the early stages of finalisation, although we thought you might enjoy hearing them. We hope to add another one or two tomorrow.

Today was somewhat more successful than yesterday in that we managed to record Pete’s vocal for Repossession from Ghost of the Art and upload the alpha mix if you fancy a listen. As is the case for the rest of that collection, there is much work and tweakage still to be done before it is finished, but it’s good to have a semi-decent version of the song up here.

Only seven more to do from Ghost of the Art and we hope to record another one or two tomorrow.

We’ve uploaded some alpha mixes of recent recordings of songs from the Ghost of the Art album. The songs in question are Architect, Attached, Mirror and The Thin Man. There are still eight more of these to upload. These songs all require a great deal of work and we thought you might like to hear how things are progressing for now.

We attempted to record Pete’s vocals for Code Red from Noir earlier but he was not up to the task. He still seems to be somewhat under the weather after his recent accident. There may be further attempts at recording his vocals for various things soon.

First up we would like to say thanks to all the people who supported the Rage Against the Machine campaign here in the UK as it was a great day for real music. Long live the revolution! :-D

The Bastard Sons of Dennis played a successful albeit curtailed show at the Black Horse on the 17th, cranking out the new ‘audience participation’ version of Dominance and Submission and their Christmas song, Redeemed (Sir Rastas Bear). They have not played since due to it being silly season. They hope to start performing again early in the New Year.

If you would like to see the Bastard Sons of Dennis playing at the Black Horse on the 17th December, there are a couple of videos posted on youtube. Thanks to Tom for the uploads. You can find links to them on our ‘links’ page.

Dark Company have been fairly quiet for the last couple of weeks or so. Pete had a nasty accident on the 20th December involving some slippery ice, a flight of concrete stairs and a car battery. He was lucky enough to escape his incident with concussion, cuts and bruises. He is now on the mend and we shall bring you more news on his condition soon.

We hope to be able to upload some finished works from Flicker before much more time has gone by. As George has been so busy with Dark Company due to Pete’s health issues he has had very little time to do anything with Flicker. However, Sauce from HappySad is nearly finished and we believe that as Pete’s contributions to recording Dark Company are almost done the rest of HappySad will follow shortly.

With Clonk! and Alchemeon now being largely dormant we don’t anticipate there being a lot of change on those fronts. However, we will continue to explore the vast Wud Records archives and try to upload some more gems for you to enjoy over the coming year.

The redesign of the whole Wud Records site will be applied soon. We are very aware of the fact that parts of the site are not working terribly well at the moment and the new design will fix all of these issues.

Finally we hope all of our visitors had a very Happy Solstice and Christmas, and we hope you all have a fantastic New Year! :)
