Here are the results of a gathering of The Bastard Sons of Dennis that occurred spontaneously at Yuri’s flat on 9th May 1998. The week previously Q. Wim and Yuri had met up at the Double Locks Mayday celebrations and jammed, much to the delight of the gathered revellers. This was an attempt at recording some of the songs they had played, although it was in fact a good four years or so after the la...

The Fool was almost one of the first batch of Ug Brothers songs and when added to their live set became a regular favourite and often the band's set opener, with its tempo cranking slowly up and building to a funky reggae rock soul groove. Graham and Dave had a wonderful intuitive understanding of each other's playing and were able to accomplish this with aplomb. It also enabled the lighting guy a...

Lookout was a rare slow number by The Ug Brothers. George wrote the music, drawing inspiration from Reasons by Dark Company and Could Have Lied by Red Hot Chili Peppers. He also wrote some lyrics and a melody which was incorporated into the eventual guitar solo on the later Cute But Weird release. After George took this piece to the band as an instrumental, Dave wrote new lyrics. He drew inspirati...

String was composed as a funky bold guitar dance groove. The drums introduce the rhythm and the piece builds from there upwards. Dave wrote some lyrics and the song evolved into the band's live set, gaining a new title on the way. Sadly these things have all been lost in the mists of time, and possibly to Graham's "tape void" as well. This recording features a completely unscripted improvised sect...

What Is It was a song that was soon added to the The Ug Brothers live set in 1995 and became one of their most popular tracks. Dave wrote the lyrics after the band had jammed out the main groove enough for it to make some kind of sense. The talking part (not heard here so this particular piece of information is somewhat superfluous) was also written by Dave and delegated to George by accident afte...

Kate's Leotard was composed as a guitar piece in early 1995 and would have been very new when this recording was made. The bass sets out a repetetive platform on which the piece is built. No lyrics were ever written and this piece was never performed in public. Flicker are planning an updated version of this for future release. The title Kate's Leotard comes from a parody of Kate Bush, performed p...

Mouse Art was an instrumental piece written on guitar by the multi-talented Graham and was one of several interesting guitar pieces he composed around 1985-6 along with Stone, Temptation and Speeding With The Starlight. It was a piece that the original Ug Brothers attempted although no recording of it seems to exist. Graham had a small mouse tattooed on his body around the time this piece was writ...

Secret was a song that George wrote in 1993 that even had lyrics but never saw the light of day as it was never performed live or even rehearsed very much, as you can probably tell from the horribly dodgy performance in this recording. This is a melodic rock piece that may someday become a track on a future Flicker album. These recordings of instrumentals – or Ugstrumentals – by The Ug Brothers we...

Homeless and Boneless was named as it was written at around the time that one of the Ug Sisters became simultaneously homeless and single. It was written as a rather wistful and melodic guitar piece with the guitar responding to the call of the bass in the opening section. The only lyrics that were ever written for this were "Look at the dream we made" and the song was never performed in public. T...

Shiny Boots is a hard rock guitar piece that was originally written as The Thin Man by Dark Company. However, as that band had disintegrated and there seemed no prospect of the music being used, George took the piece to The Ug Brothers and they started doing it. New lyrics were never written and the title comes from the feeling of satisfaction one has after polishing one's boots and a couple of th...

Sunflower was composed as a guitar picking exercise after George was shown an entirely new and rather splendid way of playing a Cmaj7 by Amble. It is another piece that The Ug Brothers never performed live. No lyrics at all were written for this. The title Sunflower came from those flowers being rather fashionable and Amble's sunny flowery nature. An updated version is planned for recording by Fli...
