RAWGWAR is a single by the band GWAR, containing unreleased tracks. It's the second of GWAR's "Slave Pit Singles" which were released through GWAR's internet fan club in 1997. Each tape was professionally duplicated on a 20 minute cassette (10 minutes per side) which caused a few songs to be cut off at the end. This tape should not be confused with the RAWGWAR VHS tape that was released in 1989. Also worth noting, The Needle is the song that later evolved into Escape From The Mooselodge on We Kill Everything, except that "The Needle" features Mike Derks (Balsac the Jaws of Death) on vocals, instead of Oderus Urungus.

inside info

Asian People: Completely drunken ramblings. The band made shit up while Dave read from his sketch book. If you listen carefully, you can hear a few lines that evolved into songs on Ragranok.

Mexican Prick Fish: Off color stupidity. 'nuff said.

The SFW Sessions: "I think maybe you had a little too much to drink, huh?" We went into the studio to record a song for the soundtrack to SFW. It was supposed to be a demo, and if the movie company liked it, they were supposed to give us a budget to record the songs for real. They ended up using the demo, and it was nominated for a Grammy (go figure). After the song was done, we let the tape roll (and the booze flow), and came up with all the crap on this tape (except The Needle). I included all the fighting to give you an inside look into how GWAR behaves in the studio. It's a miracle we get anything recorded.

The Needle: A jam session in our practice space, that I put lyrics (if I can call them that) to. A rare chance to hear BalSac sing (if I can call it that).

Cum All Ye Young Faggots: A stirring rendition of a Johnny Cash song.

Poopie Britches: I reserve the right not to testify, so as not to incriminate myself.

RAWG is the world's premiere GWAR tribute band.
