- 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. 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. 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, Tim Rutili, Pall Jenkins, John Orth, and Brian Deck. 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. 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 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.
- Ugly Casanova ist eine amerikanische Indie-Rock-Band unter dem Label Sub Pop Records. Laut eigener Aussage auf der Internetseite der Band sind die Songs des bisher einzigen erschienenen Albums Sharpen Your Teeth der Band das Werk eines gewissen Edgar Grahams, der sich der eigentlichen Band Modest Mouse des Frontmannes und Initiators Isaac Brock backstage bei einem Modest Mouse Konzert in Denver im US/ amerikanischen Bundesstaat Colorado, vorgestellt hatte und einen mental instabilen Eindruck gemacht haben soll. Dennoch soll es im Anschluss zum Austausch von Demobändern seiner Musik in Rohfassung an Brock und zu kleinen Auftritten vor Modest Mouse Konzerten gekommen sein, bevor Edgar Graham spurlos von der Bildfläche verschwand. Des Weiteren gibt es Gerüchte, dass Edgar Grahams eine Erfindung Brocks sein soll, welche "schon länger existiere und ihn nicht mit der Band in Verbindung bringen solle", um sich Interviews etc. zu ersparen.
- Ugly Casanova es una banda estadounidense de Rock Alternativo e Indie Rock bajo Sub Pop Records formada por el guitarrista y letrista de Modest Mouse, Isaac Brock en el 2002. Actualmente, la banda ha lanzado solamente un álbum: Sharpen Your Teeth. Acordando con los mitos de la banda, (el siguiente no es un mito, pero está levantado casi al pie de la letra de la página de Ugly Casanova) en 1998 un hombre llamado Edgar Graham, alias "Ugly Casanova" se impresionó con la banda Modest Mouse mientras estaba en backstage en un concierto en Denver, Colorado. Después de un rato, Edgar compartió su trabajo con la banda, y empezó a tocarlo antes de los espectáculos mientras la gente llegaba. Cuando terminaba de tocar, se retiraba rápidamente con una mirada de ira y vergüenza. Después de un tiempo, unas cuantas grabaciones fueron creadas, luego Edgar desapareció. Isaac Brock reveló que desde que Edgar Graham era una cosa de ficción que empezó un poco antes para eliminarse a sí mismo de la banda para escapar de las entrevistas. Un poco de evidencia que había previamente provado que la historia era falsa: el EP de Modest Mouse de 1996 The Fruit That Ate Itself fue creditado para estar bajo la compañía de producción Ugly Casanova, lo cual provó que era un nombre que Isaac había creado para mantener control creativo y derechos de publicidad para su música mientras estaba en un label mayor. Los miembros de la banda ahora consisten en Isaac Brock, Tim Rutili (Califone, Red Red Meat), Pall Jenkins (The Black Heart Procession), John Orth (Holopaw), y Brian Deck. Dos canciones hechas por Ugly Casanova, "Baby's Clean Conscience" y "Parasites" aparecen luego como demos no lanzados de Modest Mouse en Paracite Sessions supuestamente grabadas en 1993 en el estudio de Calvin Johnson Dub Narcotic Studio. En 1997 el sencillo To Roads To Go fue realizado en la ahora aparentemente difunto Magic Eye Records, como sea, esto es considerado como una encarnación completamente diferente de Ugly Casanova por Brock. Parece que otro lanzamiento es improbable, por el contrato que tiene Modest Mouse con Epic Records, y el contrato que Isaac firmó con Sub Pop Records para hacer la grabación.
