LOUPGAROU WAS FORMED IN 1991 BY WOLFE DISTORCIO AND WOODY SILER IN LIVERPOOL NEW YORK,ORIGINALLY CALLED AGATHA CRUSH. AFTER AUDITIONING 20 DRUMMERS BLAST BIENIEK WAS FOUND IN A BASEMENT IN BALDWINSVILLE NEW YORK AT THE AGE OF 18 HE WAS BY FAR THE MOST "TRAINABLE" DRUMMER WITH QUICK FEET AND GREAT METER. BRUTAL WAS RECORDED IN ONE WEEK AT ACQROCK STUDIO IN UTICA NEW YORK FOR $1,000.00, BY FAR THE BEST SOUNDING LOUPGAROU ALBUM AS IT WAS CUT LIVE WITH BLAST AND WOLFE. IN 1994 WOLFE DECIDED TO TAKE THE SHOW ON THE ROAD AND RELOCATED TO CLEARWATER FLORIDA. BLAST WAS SOON TO FOLLOW. R.I.P. ROARIN' WAS RECORDED IN 1997 AT PLAYGROUND STUDIO WITH ANDREW "DUCK" MACDONALD AS PRODUCER FOR $5,000.00 ,THIS ALBUM MUSICALLY TOPPED BRUTAL BUT HAD WAY MORE PRODUCTION AND SOUNDING A BIT STERILE. NATURES CRY WAS RECORDED IN 2000-2002 AT WOLFES HOME STUDIO. THIS ALBUM IS BY FAR THE BEST OVERALL ALBUM, COSTING OVER $10,000.00, AND THE LAST LOUPGAROU ALBUM. DURING THE 11 YEARS OF LOUPGAROU'S SEVERAL INCARNATIONS THE 2 CONSTANTS WERE WOLFE DISTORCIO ON GUITAR AND BLAST BIENEIK ON DRUMS. LOUPGAROU OPENED FOR COUNTLESS NATIONAL ACTS AND PLAYED ANYWHERE THEY COULD TO SELL PRODUCT. IN 1999 LOUPGAROU SOLD OVER 9,000 COPIES OF BRUTAL AND R.I.P.ROARIN INDEPENDENTLY JUST BY NETWORKING AND PLAYING LIVE. THAT SAME YEAR HELLION RECORDS IN GERMANY PURCHASED AN ADDITIONAL 5,000 COPIES OF R.I.P.ROARIN TO DISTRIBUTE IN EUROPE. IN 2000 LOUPGAROU PERFORMED IN FRONT OF 20,000 BIKERS AT THE BUFFALO CHIP IN STURGIS, SOUTH DAKOTA. LOUPGAROU OPENED FOR CHEAP TRICK ON FRIDAY AND JOHNNY LANG ON SATURDAY THEN HEADLINED ON SUNDAY TO CLOSE THE MILLENIUM BLACK HILLS CLASSIC. UPON RETURNING TO FLORIDA, LOUPGAROU WAS APROACHED BY CODA RECORDS AND SIGNED A 3 ALBUM DEAL WITH THE AGREEMENT THAT THE ENTIRE LOUPGAROU CATALOG BE PURCHASED AND DISTRIBUTED WORLD WIDE. CODA RECORDS WENT BANKRUPT IN 2002. AFTER A BITTER RECORD LABEL FIGHT, AND COURT PRECEDINGS, WOLFE DISBANDED LOUPGAROU IN 2002, WITHOUT RELEASING NATURES CRY, AND NOW PLAYS IN THE ONE OF THE TOP DRAW LOCAL COVER BANDS, BIG DEAL!, IN CLEARWATER, FLORIDA.
BIG DEAL WILL BE RELEASING A FULL LENGTH CD BY SPRING 2007 AND THE LOUPGAROU STYLE IS VERY MUCH A PART OF THE SOUND. WITH WOLFE DISTORCIO ON GUITAR ,A GLAM METAL GUITARIST, AND TOMMY ROXX ON VOCALS, A SOUTHERN ROCK SINGER THIS NEW STYLE OF ROCK AND ROLL IS CALLED SLAM!
