History edit
First Underground Nuclear Kitchen, the follow-up to 2006's Music for the Divine contains more funk rock–style music than his more hard rock–infused earlier records.
The album again features Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith on the entirety of the record and regular guitarist JJ Marsh on only two songs. Guitar player Luis Carlos Maldonado, best known for his work with John Waite, co-wrote five of the songs with Hughes. Other performances come from George Nastos on guitar and Anders Olinder and Ed Roth on keyboards.
First Underground Nuclear Kitchen was mixed by Jono Brown and Glenn Hughes.
A promotional video was shot for the song "Love Communion", the video was included on the European version of the album as an enhanced track.
First Underground Nuclear Kitchen entered the UK indie charts at No. 24
