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!
'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 GWAR originals 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.
Arriving November 13th via Pit Records and available on vinyl, CD, and digital download, 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.

Since you slaves sit in front of that thing called a television all the time, you might as well watch something that doesn't suck. And by something that doesn't suck, we mean anything that has GWAR in it! You can catch GWAR in not one, but TWO recently released films! You're welcome!
We would like to thank you for all of the support you have shown (and continue to show) for our fundraising efforts for Chuck Varga and his wife Bambi, throughout the challenges faced during his battle with cancer. Although the Sexecutioner has gone back home to reunite with his Scumdog Brethren, Oderus Urungus and Flattus Maximus, we would still love to extend support to his wife, Bambi.
A very generous and thoughtful bohab (who wishes to remain anonymous) wanted to further help with our fundraising efforts and recently reached out to us to donate a framed original illustration created by Chuck in 2013. We will be auctioning the framed artwork pictured below, with 100% of the proceeds going to Bambi.
This illustration is the original art piece the Blood Drive shirts were made from. It has been in a private collection for many years, and is one of the only Chuck pieces available to the public. It is incredibly detailed and still shows Chuck's eraser marks as he progressed through the piece. This is professionally framed with museum glass, and is truly one of a kind. Many thanks again to the bohab who purchased it directly from Chuck many years ago and that has generously offered it up for this auction.
There are some losses that hit harder than others. The world lost Chuck Varga yesterday, and GWAR lost one of its own.
Chuck was the Sexecutioner and was one of the founding members of GWAR. He was there when this strange, disgusting, beautiful thing was being born, helping create the world that would become GWAR.
As Sexecutioner, Chuck brought an unforgettable presence to the stage and helped establish the larger-than-life mythology, chaos and depravity that would come to define the band. As one of the visual artists his illustrations and costume design helped establish GWAR's distinct visual style. He was there at the beginning, and even before when GWAR was struggling to establish what it was going to become. Chuck went on to excel with his scenic artistic talents in movies, theatre and other visual mediums. Sadly, now the Sexecutioner has gone back home to reunite with his Scumdog Brethren Oderus Urungus and Flattus Maximus.
For those of us who knew Chuck, he was more than a character in a monster suit, he was an artist, a vocalist, a true performer and most importantly a brother to everyone in the band. He was one of the people who helped make GWAR possible. Our hearts go out to Chuck’s loving wife Bambi, his family, his friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
If you are a 21+ aged bohab, your overlords give you permission to continue reading this message. If you aren't, you must go back to the slave pit immediately!
GWAR has some new funny smelling green stuff for all of you to spend your money on. Some of your fellow human filth over at World Needs Cannabis thought it was something you slaves would enjoy. They even said they used GWAR as their "inspiration" when they made this, whatever that means. We're not exactly sure what this stuff really is or what it does. We really don't care either. We only heard that it might do things to you that will make you all less miserable for us to be around. We REALLY don't think such a thing exists, but PLEASE prove us wrong and try it anyway (if you're a bohab of age)!
As many of you know, Chuck Varga, a founding member of GWAR and the man behind The Sexecutioner from 1985 to 2022, is currently battling cancer. Chuck and his wife, Bambi, are facing tremendous medical, financial, and personal challenges as they navigate this difficult chapter together.
Last month's blood drive was an overwhelming success and we thank all of you Bohabs for your support.
We have created a fundraiser to help cover the mounting expenses associated with Chuck's care, including cancer treatments, hospice care, specialized medical equipment, and additional nursing support. It will also help offset the cost of maintaining their Brooklyn apartment while Bambi has stepped away from work to care for Chuck full-time.
Funds raised will help ensure Chuck receives the care, comfort, and dignity he deserves while also providing much-needed support to Bambi as she manages the financial burdens that have come with Chuck's illness and the challenges that lie ahead.
As part of the fundraiser, fans will have access to exclusive Chuck Varga merchandise created specifically for this campaign, including a brand new t-shirt featuring artwork by Chuck himself. These limited edition items give supporters a chance to contribute directly while owning a unique piece of GWAR history.
In addition, fans will have the opportunity to bid on The Sexecutioner's Axe, the legendary weapon wielded by Chuck's iconic GWAR character for nearly four decades. This one-of-a-kind piece of GWAR history will be offered to the highest bidder, with all proceeds benefiting Chuck and Bambi.
For more than four decades, Chuck has been an integral part of the GWAR family and helped shape the band's legacy from its earliest days. Through his work as a performer, artist, creator, and founding member, he helped build one of the most unique and enduring acts in heavy music history. His creativity, humor, and dedication have left an indelible mark on generations of fans, artists, and misfits around the world.
"Chuck Varga's contributions to the GWAR and Slave Pit collective are enormous. The influence of his illustrations, character designs, performances, and artistic vision can still be felt throughout GWAR today. Chuck's over-the-top underground art aesthetic helped define an entire universe and inspired generations of artists and fans around the world. His legacy will remain with us forever, and we hope this fundraiser not only helps support Chuck and Bambi during this difficult time but also serves as a celebration of everything Chuck has given to GWAR and its community," said Bob Gorman, aka Bonesnapper.
Bohabs,
