Two icons of shock, horror and drive-in mayhem collide on ‘GWAR and the Last Drive-In-Stein,’ a new album bringing together GWAR and Joe Bob Briggs for one gloriously demented musical meeting. With NEW songs and music from John Brennan and the Bigfeet. Arriving November 13th via Pit Records on vinyl, the album celebrates more than four decades of GWAR and 40 years of Joe Bob Briggs on television as a film critic, commentator, and entertainer.
Speaking on the upcoming album, Blothar exclaims: “Lordy Lordy, look who’s 40! GWAR and Joe Bob Briggs. A match made in hell! I love horror movies, trash, and funny spooky stuff. GWAR wouldn’t exist without it. I was just a calf when creepy Joe Bob reached up my poodle skirt at the Last Drive-in. He promised he’d make me a star… Now we’ve made a record together!”
Joe Bob continues: “To create the real spirit of Halloween, I called up my buddies – the intergalactic warriors who live in Antarctica – and I asked them to bring some fear, some filth, and some fun. Of course you know whom I’m talkin’ about… the Scumdogs of the Universe… GWAR!”
‘GWAR and the Last Drive-In-Stein’ captures the meeting of these two legendary worlds, with Side A featuring GWAR’s epic live performance from The Last Drive-In’s 2025 Halloween special. The set features several GWARoriginals alongside covers of some of the most beloved songs associated with Joe Bob’s legendary show.
Side B features John Brennan and the Bigfeet, The Last Drive-In’s house band, performing songs written for the show’s final two seasons. The collection marks the third official soundtrack release from John Brennan and the Bigfeet, from the musical world of The Last Drive-In.
