Really enjoyed this track. While not sounding like them at all, it puts me in mind of Strawbs for some reason.

Then Came the Last Days of May by The Bastard Sons of Dennis with Dave Danielli.
Album: Cruelty to Blues

Then Came the Last Days of May is a cover song.
Originally released by Blue Öyster Cult on their 1972 eponymous album. 

Music and lyrics: D. Roeser.

This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
Inspiration drawn from the versions on the 1972 eponymous Blue Öyster Cult studio album, and the 1975 live BOC album On Your Feet Or On Your Knees.

Then Came the Last Days of May was always a tremendously popular Bastard Sons of Dennis song. It was one of the first songs the duo ever performed, appearing in the duo's first ever live performance at The Angel in Exeter.

The lyrics are a true story. This song was composed by Donald 'Buck Dharma' Roeser, guitarist and vocalist of Blue Öyster Cult, after three friends of his from Stony Brook University in New York were murdered in a drug deal that went very wrong.

Derek would often change the word 'truck' in the line "Now and then a truck" to 'duck'. This was always hilarious, with his exemplary comic timing.

Ducks became something of a theme for The Bastard Sons of Dennis. Fans would often bring their own toy ducks along to shows.

Occasionally Chuck's lips wouldn't be moist enough to perform the little whistle that comes at the end of his solo. This was also very funny. Check would just end up blowing and puffing and shrugging in a comical way.

The whistle actually comes from the 1970s uk sitcom The Goode Life. The character Tom Goode would often give this little whistle. Exactly where Tom took it from remains largely mysterious.

Blue Öyster Cult perform this song in the key of E minor. The Bastard Sons of Dennis transposed it to A minor.

The tempo increase after the first verse was Derek's suggestion. It was a very good one.

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

Recorded and engineered at Wud Records Studio One, exeter uk.
Bass recorded in north devon, October 2023.
Produced, mixed and mastered by George Davies 2025.

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.

Redeemed by The Bastard Sons of Dennis with Dave Danielli.
Album: Cruelty to Blues

Redeemed is a cover song.
Originally released by Blue Öyster Cult on their 1972 eponymous album. 

Music and lyrics: A. Bouchard, A. Lanier, H. Farcas, S. Pearlman.

This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
Inspiration drawn from the version on the eponymous Blue Öyster Cult studio album.

Redeemed was always a tremendously popular Bastard Sons of Dennis song. It was one of the first songs the duo ever performed live.

It was added to their repertoire for one of their first ever shows, which happened to be just before Christmas. They would describe Redeemed as their Christmas song, even if it was the middle of summer.

The count-in for a live performance was "One, one," or two other random numbers. This was due to the rather odd amount of beats at the beginning.

The guitars in this version were both recorded live at the same time in Wud Records Studio One. The vocals were added afterwards, and the bass a long time later.

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

Recorded and engineered at Wud Records Studio One, exeter uk.
Bass recorded in north devon, June 2024.

The Last Breath of Summer

FAMILY LIFE Old

Armed & Dangerous by Dark Company.
Album: Signmaker

ARMED & DANGEROUS
In the circus there’s a uniform for fun
The love they got is fired from clownish guns
But it’s so dangerous
Armed laughter changing us
Warmed up with a yellow paper sun

Each act in line comes right in on cue
Bringing our emotions into view
And it’s so dangerous
Armed laughter changing us
Next time bring your mind along with you

There’s a pistol in my smile
It shoots grins for miles and miles
But look into my eyes
The reflection’s saying goodbye

Outside the ring we sit and blankly stare
Nobody but our own selves in the chair
But it’s so dangerous
Armed laughter changing us
Close your eyes and no-one knows you’re there

With animals such tricks are neatly made
They nod and wink in terminal parade
It’s oh so dangerous
Armed laughter changing us
Into their souls we think we can invade

There’s a pistol in my smile
It shoots grins for miles and miles
But look into my eyes
The reflection’s saying goodbye

Fun Facts:
* This song is very closely related to The Joker as they both share the same tune in the verses.
* George considered this tune-sharing conundrum a challenge and set about making this song and The Joker appear to not be all that similar after all.
* The original guitar parts came from a groove that George wrote whilst living in Plymouth.
* The tempo is 150BPM.
* When Sammi first heard this song, she sat and thought for a moment, then suddenly said: “I think here it should go like this,” and played the instrumental flute parts.
* During this recording we discovered that giggling and playing the flute are reasonably incompatible activities due to one’s inability to form the correct shape with one’s lips to blow anything resembling music from the silvery pipe.
* It took three or four weeks of visits and prolonged outbreaks of the giggles all round before Sammi finally nailed the parts.
* This was the most joyously memorable aspect of the entire recording of the Signmaker album.
* The 12-string was made by Melody.
* George acquired it by swapping a pair of jeans with ripped knees for it, a deal with which he was most chuffed.
* Some years later the guitar was destroyed by the boot of a drunken Satan’s Slave at an Ug Brothers after-show party (harumph).
* Jeff borrowed the soprano sax from Chrissie and recorded his parts before becoming a more permanent Dark Company member.
* The bass for Armed & Dangerous had already been recorded when he arrived.
* Guitars were plugged straight into the desk.
* George used the lyrics for this song in a fiendishly difficult English lesson when working as a TEFL teacher.
* When he ran seminars for other TEFL teachers on The Use of Music in the Classroom he would set the lesson’s tasks to groups of teachers, and even they would struggle with it.
* Pete wrote this song about the circus and enforced jolliness.
* George felt that it was about the unwanted and resented child whose role in life was to be its parent’s performing monkey, e.g. “aren’t I clever because isn’t my little Johnny clever”.
* To correctly spell the title of this song, an ampersand must be used.
* George and Jeff each produced a dub remix of this song, available as bonus tracks.
* Thus it came about that the ampersand would be used for & co, the remixing arm of the Dark Company project.

Gotta go, you have to leave now
Bein’ followed, you’re on the edge how
Did they catch up you don’t know
Still you will be lyin’ low

Y’know about the conspiracy
Why, ya have your own theory
They’re onto you to say the least
They ring your phone and bribe your priest

Check ’round the corner,
Take a looksee in the bin
They can be hidin’ or
Grillin’ yar next of kin
The envelopes R ready
They’re goin’to be mailed ( now!! )
You’ll plant a time capsule
In case they’ll fail ( how?! )

Laughin’ at you, they’re well happy
Paranoid mind makes you well snappy
Suspicious thoughts’re gett’n stranger
They closing in on you ever faster

Check ’round the corner…

* 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.
