==History==
Rapeman was formed in 1987 when drummer Rey Washam and bassist [[David Wm. Sims]] relocated to Chicago from Texas after the breakup of their band [[Scratch Acid]].<ref name="Larkinindie">{{cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Guinness Who's Who of Indie and New Wave Music]]|editor=[[Colin Larkin (writer)|Colin Larkin]]|publisher=[[Guinness Publishing]]|date=1992|edition=First|isbn=0-85112-579-4|page=228}}</ref> Steve Albini had just ended his group [[Big Black]],<ref name="Larkinindie"/> and was looking to switch to a musical project with a live drummer, instead of his [[Roland TR-606]] drum machine.
 
Rapeman's initial 1988 releases included the mostly live recorded ''[[Budd (EP)|Budd]]'' EP, the "Hated Chinee b/w Marmoset" 7" single, and their sole album, ''[[Two Nuns and a Pack Mule]]''.<ref name="Larkinindie"/> The band recorded in Albini's own home studio, often giving production credit to someone named Fluss, later revealed to be Albini's cat.
