July 11, 2011, 13 years ago
On a special episode of the Glory Is Noise online radio show, host Joel Gausten dips into his own discography and plays some of his favorite tracks from his 25-year history behind the drums. In addition to playing tracks by THE UNDEAD, ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN, THE FIENDZ and others, Joel airs a previously-unheard Misfits rehearsal demo of 'London Dungeon' recorded in 1995. The complete episode can be heard
at this location.
This rough demo version of 'London Dungeon' was recorded in February 1995 at the Misfits' rehearsal compound in New Jersey and features Jerry Only on bass, Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein on guitar and Gausten on drums. Unlike the Misfits demos posted by Gausten at this location (which feature Eric Weiss on vocals), this recording of 'London Dungeon' features a singer known only as "Sherman." The song was recorded on 8-track by future Misfits drummer Dr. Chud, several months prior to Michale Graves becoming the band's official singer. At the time of the recording, Gausten had been serving as one of the band's fill-in rehearsal drummers while the band was auditioning vocalists.
Glory Is Noise is a bi-weekly show on Radio Free Satan Each episode, Gausten offers an eclectic mix of music and exclusive interviews with mainstream and underground recording artists. Episode descriptions and playlists are available here. The show’s official Facebook page is located here.
