The intergalactic warriors GWAR, from the planet way past Uranus called Scumdogia (also known as Richmond, VA) are returning to wreak havoc on the innocent! The spectacle that is a GWAR show returns to the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC this Sunday, and TVD has a pair of tickets for one lucky winner.
GWAR’s unique brand of satirical metal has been shocking and entertaining audiences since the eighties, and their stage show has become the stuff of legend. Beheadings, meat grinders, dinosaurs, and monsters abound, and their shows never fail to sicken or disappoint (or at a minimum cover the audience in blood and gore).
Over the years, while keeping their sardonic sense of humor, their music has taken a much on heavier, thrashier, and more technical sound. From our recent review of their show in San Francisco, Jason Miller writes, “Oderus Urungus has brilliantly lead Earth’s only openly extraterrestrial metal band for more than twenty-five years now. Touring in support of their latest record Battle Maximus, Gwar are still going strong and are equally, if not more, offensive now than when they first began back in 1984.”
While for us, nothing can top when we went record shopping with Oderus Urungus at Som Records last year, GWAR recently stopped by A.V. Undercover to perform Billy Ocean’s “Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car,” and “they appended a little something extra to it”…
For your shot at winning a pair of tickets, leave a comment below telling us which song you would have GWAR cover.
We’ll choose one winner at noon on Thursday, November 14. Tickets are still available for purchase.
