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. Steve Albini had just ended his group Big Black 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, the "Hated Chinee b/w Marmoset" 7" single, and their sole album, Two Nuns and a Pack Mule. The band recorded in Albini's own home studio, often giving production credit to someone named Fluss, later revealed to be Albini's cat.
All were originally released on Touch and Go Records in the US, Blast First! in the UK and Au Go Go in Australia. Rapeman left Blast First! in 1990 after Albini had an argument with the label over the release of a Big Black record. Touch and Go started distributing in the UK in 1992 and re-released Rapeman's records there.
The band's final record before their breakup, the "Inki's Butt Crack" 7" single, was issued in 1989 as part of the Sub Pop Singles Club.
