Dearest Friends of the Upper Crust,
Your presence is gently but firmly required at Public Assembly, in Brooklyn, New York, this Friday the 20th of November, for a concert composed entirely of material from the catalogue of the Upper Crust.
This rare occasion is of particular interest as said concert will not only feature the music of the Upper Crust, but will also be performed by the Upper Crust themselves.
Thus you will be able to enjoy the compositions of the Upper Crust as they were originally intended to be heard.
The libretto and score will be interpreted with all the nuances of style and technique peculiar to the Upper Crust, as well as with the many intangibles that the true lover of music can easily detect, if not define, by looking at his dog to see if he covers his eyes with his paws.
The vocals—beloved, instantly recognizable—will be those of the superbly talented Count Bassie, the inestimable Duc d’Istortion, and the gamely striving Lord Bendover.
The percussion—which in this case consists of quietly turning the pages of the score for an hour or so, standing for one exquisitely timed cymbal crash, and immediately resuming one’s seat—will be performed by the renowned Jackie Kickassis.
An event of such significance is not lightly to be missed. Even those who are usually fashionably late have already arrived and are sleeping on the sidewalk, so as not to be excluded.
We anticipate with the greatest pleasure your company,
Your Great Friend and Confidante,
Bumbles
Secretary and Manservant to Their Lordships the Upper Crust

"Revenge For Imagined Slights"
available through Camp Street Records
Dear Friends of the Upper Crust—
It gives me great pleasure to announce the release of a new Upper Crust record, or rather, a batch of ten MP3 files, available for immediate download at Camp Street Records
The record is named Revenge for Imagined Slights—just as if it were an actual vinyl record album or a CD that you could hold in your hands, though in truth it is just a collection of digital ones and zeros floating in the ether… no sleeve nor jewel case contains or unifies it… just ten songs without physical form of any kind, any one of which might very well change the world as we know it. They are:
Long Table For Two
Coachman Drive On
Come Hither Fair Youth
Rococo
Class Up the Ass
Chateauneuf du Pop
Hereditary Insanity
Bedlam
I Stand Corrected
Wine Women and Song
These compositions are notable for their variety of style and content. Two of them remind us of the need for vigilance lest we inadvertently have carnal relations with our mother at a masqued ball ("Rococo," and "Wine Women and Song")—a problem which apparently vexes the Lord Bendover to no small degree.
Another two lightly touch upon the perplexing issue of hereditary insanity that afflicts so many persons of rarified birth and breeding ("Bedlam," "Hereditary Insanity")—another subject seemingly of interest to the Lord Bendover.
Count Bassie is anxious to make it known that he did not write, nor does he agree with the sentiments expressed in "Come Hither Fair Youth," neither does he resemble the protagonist thereof in any way. Moreover, he has never ingested hallucinogenic drugs of any kind, as the middle part of the song might suggest.
"I Stand Corrected" is an amusing trifle written and recorded in the studio, as it was felt that an album—even one without physical form—ought to have at least ten songs.
The worldly and erudite lead guitarist Duc d'Istortion sings "Long Table For Two"; the formidable Count Bassie sings "Class Up the Ass" and "Come Hither"; the other songs are sung by the exemplary Lord Bendover. Drummer extraordinaire Jackie Kickassis provides an exceptionally fine, robust percussion throughout, with just a hint of young cherry and a faint tang that lingers long after the aforementioned tracks have quietly gathered up their garments, pocketed your valuables and left the room.
To those loyal supporters who have long awaited a new Upper Crust record, we thank you for your patience and trust you will enjoy listening to this record as much as their Lordships enjoyed the creation of it,
Your Most Humble Servant,
Bumbles, Secretary and Manservant to the Upper Crust
Dear Friends
Allow me introduce myself: I am Bumbles, the faithful manservant of the Upper Crust, those most esteemd peers of the Realm of Rocque. It is my duty, my privilege and my pleasure to present to you this new edition of the Upper Crust's MySpace page.
Why "new," you ask? It is because, quite simply, there was none previously in existence. An omission, perhaps; an oversight, certainly; a regrettable faux pas which we seek here to rectify ("rectify," from the French: to electrify one's rectum).
The Upper Crust have set an impossibly high standard of rectifying Rocque and Roll for something like a decade, and it has been my good fortune to have played a small, obsequious, and servile role therein.
That they have continually gained in stature and reputation whilst others have fallen by the wayside, we owe to their unique talent and perspicacity, their formidable catalogue of songs, and the simple fact that none of them, as of this writing, have yet died.
Their recordings "Let Them Eat Rock", "Decline and Fall", "Once More Into the Breeches", "Entitled" now quite valuable and difficult to find, are now available online at theuppercrust.org and on iTunes. Look also for a Live DVD to be released by Reptilian Records in the near future.
Dear friends, we invite you to join the Upper Crust's circle of admirers. Together, you and they shall forge a bond of comradeship so strong that nothing barring their Lordships aversion to the use of condoms shall sunder it. They shall declare themselves to be your friends, and you theirs. They shall send you pictures of themselves in their underclothes, so that you may decide if they are hot, and they do not doubt that you shall reciprocate. And I, Bumbles, shall keep you abreast of such information as discretion permits regarding the doings of their Lordships.
May I take your coat? I perfectly understand you are wearing nothing underneath. You may wait in the sitting room.
Their Lordships shall be along presently.
Our space is your space. Welcome to the Upper Crust on MySpace.
Your Most Humble Servant in Rocque,
Bumbles
