Uggish began his musical journey as one half of Bi-Polar Bear.  Over the span of a decade the group released three albums, traveled the country headlining legendary venues like the Mercury Lounge NYC, topped college radio charts, broadcasted live performances on stations such as Radio K Minneapolis and shared stages with countless rappers from underground successes such as Brother Ali to mainstream legends like Snoop Dogg.  Their albums were released by Brooklyn based Indie label Modern Shark and garnered additional support from Sage Francis’ led Strange Famous Records.  It was a wonderful experience with an incredible friend (August).  In 2015, after Bi-Polar Bear’s third album, Uggish stepped away from music.  He left in pursuit of a doctorate in Chinese Medicine.  His journey away from music and into the world of acupuncturists, herbalists, and unmatched compassion brought beautiful new perspectives.  In 2020, five years removed from his last studio appearance, Uggish woke up and felt compelled once again to make music.  He made some new beats (they were really really good), said some new raps (they sounded really really dope), and recorded the self-produced/written/recorded debut solo album “…and Now to Learn to Fish”.  He surely hopes you do enjoy his return 🙂 .

After two years of blowing up French, European and American stages, Smokey Joe & The Kid present their first release LP “Nasty Tricks” on French record label Banzaï Lab. A dangerously efficient mix of hip hop, electro and old Swing, that even 2Pac and Al Capone couldn’t say no to…
In this project, Smokey Joe (Bordeaux’s main musical mafia head) and The Kid aka “Senbeï,” (cheeky Parisian master of Turntablism), transport us back in time gangsters run streets of 1930’s Chicago. After a 1st EP released in June 2012 and of which 2 tracks had been on Beatport HipHop Top 100 for several months, the duet comes back in March 2013 to confirm that try with their 1st LP “Nasty Tricks”.
Great collaborations enhance that first opus: Puppetmastaz, R-Wan (Java), Lateef the Truthspeaker, Nomadic Massive, Youthstar (Chinese Man), Random Recipe, Sugaray...
With the help of their accomplices, these two gangsters mix Hip Hop and Electro with the groove and melodies of early 20th century Swing. Percussion solos played with scratches, beats and melodies banged out on the MPC, everything is performed live, there’s no doubt that Smokey Joe & The Kid know how to make a dancefloor go wild!!
Kidnapped, we retrieve consciousness in the middle of a crazy Block Party for a timeless Jam Session where urban poetry melts into the decadent energy of old speakeasies.
Smokey Joe & The Kid’s music spreads like cigar smoke, so if you hear “Nasty Tricks” on your neighbor’s stereo, it’s just a matter of time before the duet knocks at your door… “Nasty Tour” to start in March 2013!

My little minnow of a show is taking on the system! Tune in every Saturday from 2 - 5pm (WST) to Radio Fremantle 107.9fm or steam the show online!

I believe the music industry has lost it’s way. More so than ever, music is chosen for it’s marketing protentional rather than it’s artistic value. This has resulted in a very narrow view on what is deemed popular.

My show, more than ever, is about giving Australian music a voice, a LOUD voice, and to let people out there know just what fuckin amazing music is being made on their own doorstep. My show is dedicated to all the unsigned local broke artists who are struggling through the hardship and the punishment for the heart of it and the love of it.

Music can be many things. It can entertain but it can also speak the truth and can be a reflection of our society. It can also offend and it can make you think and all these things should be embraced and celebrated, not collecting cobwebs in some music library next to the Arc of the Covenent
If you have listened to my show, you will already know that I don’t just do this show to fill in my weekend. All the music I play I LOVE and I want to share it with as many people as I can and at the same time hopefully give these bands a leg up in a very competitive music scene.

To quote Maynard in Hooker with a Penis, help me shove a finger up their ass !
