Ugly Casanova Is An American Indie Rock Band Carried On Sub Pop Records. The Band Has Only Released One Album Sharpen Your Teeth. According To The Ugly Casanova Website In 1998 A Man Named Edgar Graham A.K.A. "Ugly Casanova" Impressed Himself Upon The Band Modest Mouse While Backstage At A Concert In Denver Colorado. After Some Prodding He Shared His Work With The Band And Began Performing It Early Before Shows While Some People Were Milling Around. Whenever He Completed These Performances He Retreated Quickly With A Look Of Anger And Shame. After A Time A Few Small Recordings Were Created After Which Edgar Vanished. Issac Brock Of Modest Mouse Later Recorded His Songs In Hopes That Graham Would Resurface In The Music Scene. 1 Isaac Brock Has Since Revealed That Edgar Graham Was "a Fiction Thing That Brock Started A While Back To Eliminate Himself From The Band " To Escape Having To Do Interviews. 1 One Bit Of Evidence That Had Previously Suggested That Story Was False Modest Mouse's 1996 EP The Fruit That Ate Itself Was Credited To Having Been Under The Production Company Ugly Casanova Which Suggested It Was A Name Brock Made Up To Retain Creative Control And Publishing Rights To His Music While Under A Major Label. The Band Lineup Now Consists Of Isaac Brock Modest Mouse Tim Rutili Califone Red Red Meat Pall Jenkins The Black Heart Procession John Orth Holopaw And Brian Deck Red Red Meat . One Key Difference Between Ugly Casanova In Comparison To Modest Mouse Is The More Stripped-Down Nature Of The Songs. The Lack Of Overdubbed Vocals On Some Of The Tracks Is Particularly Significant Because Brock Is Known For Having A Slight Lisp Which He Is Very Uncomfortable With And Often Covered Up On Modest Mouse Recordings Via Double Tracking And Distortion. Ugly Casanova Mixes Indie Rock With Hints Of Country And Folk Ultimately Creating A Completely Unique Genre. Ugly Casanova's Songs Range From Acoustic Ballads Hotcha Girls To Overwhelming Bizarreness With Piercing Vocals Diamonds On The Face Of Evil . The Mood Created By Ugly Cassanova's Songs Reflects The Enigma That Is Its Creator Edgar Graham. 2 Two Tracks Released By Ugly Casanova "Baby's Clean Conscience" And "Parasites" Appear Earlier As Unreleased Demos Of Modest Mouse In The Paracite Sessions Purportedly Recorded In 1993 At Calvin Johnson's Dub Narcotic Studio. In 1997 The Fourth Magic Eye Single Each One Named After Its Color Of Vinyl Included To Roads To Go 3 On The Apparently Now Defunct Magic Eye Records However This Was An Entirely Different Incarnation Of Ugly Casanova Of Isaac Brock Steve Dukage And John Atkins Of 764-Hero. It Seems That Another Release Is Unlikely Owing To Contract Issues Between Modest Mouse's Label Epic Records And The Contract Brock Signed With Sub Pop Records To Produce The Record. read less
