Loup Garou
Loup Garou doesn't have any underlying message. We aren't political, animal rights activists or vegan or anything. Loup Garou is about having fun and being better than your band without trying. Youll notice the songs contain musical chemistry and have various funny mistakes which adds to the charm and makes Loup Garou the idiot feminist killing machine it is.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Sam and Prawn got pissed after school a few times and recorded the best part of an album. Ryan came along with some songs he and Sam had written in their mellow acoustic group 'Winston', and were added to Loup Garou and upgraded by the anger and hatred harboured by Prawn and Sam when their sonic thunderforce was united......or so the legend goes.
Loup Garou took an extended haitus because they couldn't be bothered to replace drum sticks and/or guitar strings, but in the middle of 2004 Loup Garou were in effect and a new song was born featuring The Reverend Matt Barker by the name of 'my rohypnol baby' closely followed by a song called 'I'll never be alone'.
Oh my god, Loup Garou are so dedicated ot the cause they've come forth with 3 new songs as of late - I'll never be alone which is alright. Bitches Ain't Shit - which doesn't have sam on it. Good for the ladies but it does have the RMB on it........ And last but actually the opposite from least, probably the best ever done by us - Cannibal man, again featuring the RMB.
W're at it again. 4 new songs, 'Chicken Man', 'For Old Times', a re-recording of the classic 'Ballad of The Beaver', and 'Hot Girl (In A Box)', which is so good it will make you want to kick a pregnant dog to death. Also is the finally completed 'She Eats Crisps' - now with added commoner!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We've played once. It was dreadful. we would play more but we cant be bothered we have fun just recording to be honest.

Anything else?
Prawn is easily the best member of loup garou. Without him there would be no loup garou
The Reverend Matt Barker is always part of the best songs because he refuses to do anything shit.
Sam is a massive ponyboat.
Ryan's involvement in loup garou is non existant now but he will receive royalties if we make some money
