WEREBEAR

So these are the only tracks Werebear ever got around to recording; HooHooDilly and Werebear Attack are actually pretty sweet, and along with the Ballad of Namfoodle were recorded at the MRC. I'm still kind of bummed we never recorded Lannister's Hound or Earthbound, but you gotta appreesh what you got, I guess. Anyway, this is the most ridiculousness Cville experienced since Vomit Up Blood, and it deserves to be remembered.

Charlottesville's knights of the thrash forest, as Lynchburg Matt put it. We started as a joke band, trying to play heavy, solo-driven songs about Chappy's favorite subjects: Legos, DND, and gynophobia. The concept quickly snowballed into a full-fledged fantasy-metal project, including costumes for the live shows, buying Lair of the Minotaur CDs, and sore necks from headbanging too enthusiastically. The songs began to include just about every nerdy thing we could think of, including fantasy novels, movies, and video games, and Chappy's dog. By the end we had a few really tight songs, like Lannister's Hound and Earthbound, but unfortunately they were never recorded. One of the most fun/shameful things I've ever done.
