Dominance and Submission by The Bastard Sons of Dennis with Dave Danielli.
Album: Cruelty to Blues

Dominance and Submission is a cover song.
Originally released by Blue Öyster Cult on their 1974 Secret Treaties album.

Lyrics: S. Pearlman
Music: E. Bloom, A. Bouchard

This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
Inspiration drawn from the Secret Treaties and Extra Terrestrial Live versions.
Recorded at 164 BPM.

During a live Bastard Sons of Dennis performance, there would be a bit of chat, such as thanks to the venue and sound guy and personel introductions, after the guitar solo and before the "Dominance", "Submission" section.

In the long pauses before "It will be time!", Derek and Chuck would spin their guitars upside down. Stuck on the back of Chuck's guitar was a large sign that read "Throw panties now!", and on the back of Derek's was a similar sign that read "If no panties, bras!"

Very few undergarments were ever actually tossed onto the stage, apart from on one occasion when somebody had brought a big bag full of old knickers and distribued them to the audience. Both the stage and the band were covered in them!

Performers:
Derek Broom - vocals, guitar
Chuck Palmer - guitar, vocals
Dave Danielli - bass

Recorded and engineered at Wud Records Studio One 2011-2017.
Bass recorded October 2023.
Produced, mixed and mastered by George Davies at Wud Records Studio One, central Europe 2025.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.
