BW&BK; has received the following press release:
"Veteran Punk drummer Joel Gausten (Pigface/ The Undead/ Electric Frankenstein) has posted an unreleased MISFITS rehearsal demo for the track 'She' on his Myspace Music page at www.myspace.com/gaustenmusicLike the demos for 'London Dungeon', 'Astro Zombies', 'Hatebreeders' and 'Angelfuck' posted on Gausten's music page last spring, this version of 'She' 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, Eric Weiss on vocals and Gausten on drums. The song was part of an 11-song demo recording engineered by future Misfits drummer Dr. Chud. These tracks were recorded several months prior to Michale Graves becoming the band's official singer.
At the time of the recording, a 17-year-old Gausten had been serving as one of the band's fill-in rehearsal drummers while the band was auditioning vocalists.
Gausten detailed his experiences with the Misfits in his book, Tales Of Horror: The History of The Misfits & The Undead, available for purchase at this location.
Additional tracks from the February 1995 session will be posted online in the weeks to come."
