The Bastard Sons of Dennis: The Furniture (part 3: the table)

Posted by Wudmaster on 11/11/12

The Furniture (part 3: the table) by The Bastard Sons of Dennis has now been released and added to their Cherry Smoke Empire album at our store at Bandcamp.

This is the next part of the ongoing tale of Los Muebles, a traditional tale from the Asturias region of northern Spain that tells of how a disfunctional family of linguistically challenged fishermen lost and then found some furniture following a flood, and the consequences. The Bastard Sons of Dennis have loosely translated the song into English. The Furniture (part 3: the table) is the most challenging part of the entire epic to translate accurately.

We will be releasing the whole of The Furniture as a single once all nine of its parts have been released.

Posted by Wudmaster on 04/11/12

Wud Records have changed their three recommended albums at Bandcamp. If you would like us to recommend your album at Bandcamp, please contact us by emailing info@wudrecords.co.uk and if we like it we’ll add you to our rotation list.

These are our new recommended albums at Bandcamp:

http://emmadoll.bandcamp.com/album/first-demos
Only two songs and they will stick in your ear if you listen. With simple, effective production, lyrics to make you smile and a great vocal in the stylee of Adele/Amy Winehouse, we want to hear more.

http://sleepingbrothersrecords.bandcamp.com/album/assembly
Fabulous quirky lo-fi rock from the talented entertaining Pink Lights on Sleeping Brothers Records. We love what Sleeping Brothers are all about and their awesome cassette-salvaged archive repertoire.

http://music.zubattosyndicate.com/album/zubatto-syndicate
An office favourite. Cool horny big-band jazz harmony sounds bound tight by the slinky guitar of Andrew Boscardin. Truly masterful playing and production, and great artwork too. Zappa/Weather Report.

These are our previous recommended albums at Bandcamp:

http://blbz.bandcamp.com/album/bright-lights-big-zombie
Indie rock and pop from our shoegazing neighbours Bright Lights, Big Zombie. Surprisingly infectious, slightly spaced out and touched by early Pink Floyd in parts. An honest and refreshing album.

http://thecoffincollectors.bandcamp.com/album/leopardskin-tales
Strange dark gothic rockabilly with a big guitar sound. Elements of comedy in the lyrics and the music and refuses to take itself seriously. Suggestions of Stray Cats, Sultans of Ping and B52s.

http://carpetfaceaudible.bandcamp.com/album/land-of-the-gooseneck-steppers-album-out-2012-on-itunes
After seeing their brilliant version of Baboon Shampoo on YouTube we had to recommend this. Cool, amusing and highly listenable, these old-skool rapmeisters will improve your day. NWA, Stereo MCs, Us3.

The Bastard Sons of Dennis: The Cruelest Dream

Posted by Wudmaster on 03/11/12

The Bastard Sons of Dennis have added The Cruelest Dream to their Cherry Smoke Empire album. This is a beautiful, haunting, whimsical song which is performed solo on guitar and voice by Q. Wim Lijkkes. It is an old song that we recorded on 1st November 2012 in Studio One, and it was mixed and mastered on 2nd November 2012. We have added it to various playlists here at Wud Records and the song is available for download from our shop at Bandcamp.

Moving on, there is more news concerning The Bastard Sons of Dennis.

The gruesome twosome also recorded Pieces of Me during the same session that The Cruelest Dream was recorded. We plan to add this song to the Cherry Smoke Empire album soon as well. Yuri plays bass on this track. It is rather slow and soft and gentle, and not a song that The Bastard Sons of Dennis have ever performed live. You can hear it in their In Session 09/05/98 playlist, which you can reach by clicking here.

The Furniture has been mixed and mastered and approved for release as a single. We shall be adding it part by part to the Cherry Smoke Empire album over the coming days and there may be prizes for fans of the band who complete a competition. More news on The Furniture coming soon!

The Black Horse in Longbrook Street, Exeter have started Open Up, their open mic night once again. This was always a favourite of The Bastard Sons of Dennis and last night they performed there again for the first time since April 2010, rocking the house with covers of the Blue Oyster Cult songs I’m on the Lamb/The Red and the Black, Seven Screaming Diz-Busters, Screams and Astronomy, the last of which is the only song that they had previously performed at that venue. They plan to return for the next two Open Up sessions, on Friday 7th December and Friday 21st December.
