GWAR IN CONCERT:
?
When it comes to gory thrash metal spectacle, no other band even comes close to the sick and twisted monstrosity that is GWAR. Taking the stage in gruesomely excellent costumes, the band executes their hilarious metal send-ups with a faux-macabre pageantry that approaches the divine, sacrificing celebrity effigies on stage and dousing entire audiences in fake blood. Whether they're unleashing "The New Plague" or demanding that "Zombies, March!", GWAR put on a show like no other act on earth, and despite longtime frontman David Brockie's recent passing the ever-dedicated band still plans to treat fans to select shows in 2014.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
?
Formed in Virginia in 1984, GWAR developed an early following with their costumed, prop-filled, spectacle-heavy take on thrash metal. Simultaneously embracing and poking fun at the genre's extremes, the band struck a chord with audiences looking to indulge in metal's excesses without taking them too seriously. Their 1988 debut LP Hell-O was a huge hit in Germany, with subsequent albums like Carnival of Chaos (1997) and We Kill Everything (1999) enjoying considerable success in the US. Over the years, they've landed songs with titles like "Endless Apocalypse" and "War Is All We Know" on charts around the world, an impressive feat for a group of guys who claim the destruction of the human race as their primary goal. In early 2014, GWAR frontman David Brockie was found dead from unknown causes. In a show of tremendous fortitude and strength, the band announced several David Brockie memorial events and still plans to appear at select events throughout the year.?Over the course of their career, GWAR have packed venues such as Irving Plaza (NYC), and the Depot (Salt Lake City).

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
?
"Gwar rocked, it was fun, the crowd was definitely into it. The pageantry was definitely funny and fun. Be prepared to get covered in blood..."
?
"If you like metal and have a sick sense of humor, go see them. What a festival of blood, theatrics, and crisply played thrash metal. GWAR was a complete spectacle ."
?
"GWAR nailed it. Theatrics were well balanced; new album cut is sick. Eagerly awaiting the next show."
GWAR put on an amazing show as always. It's been a week since the show and I still have purple toenails. The music is great. The show is amazing. If you've never seen GWAR just go and get up front and wear a white shirt. Can't wait til they come back around. ????
Gwar was awesome. The venue The Pageant was one of the best venues I have ever experienced.
The opening acts are always great at gwar shows and the main show it self is always a fun time and a truly unique experience 10 out 10 would recommend
Gwar never fails to put on an amazing show. A must see , even if you’re not into the music or the mosh pit…. Watch from a distance. Bogart’s is a great venue and all their people are great and very friendly.
GWAR HIGHLY ENTERTAINING CONCERTS AND A BLAST TO
GWAR hasn't missed a beat. Outrageous and just fun. XCops also had a great set. One if the better shows I've been to in a long time!
A total experience! No other show can compare! An absolute must see.
I saw Gwar in the mid 90's. It was fun then, and seeing them a few days ago was just as if not even more fun. I loved every minute of it.
GWAR is the best live concert ever! Lots of violence and lots of blood and these guys can play. I came in a white shirt and left wearing red. It was great!
They splattered me with tons of juices and I thanked them for it, 10/10 would see again.
