The name GWAR is synonymous with loud, bizarre and shocking behavior. They’re as much of a rock institution as some idiot yelling “Free Bird!” during a concert. Seeing GWAR live is a rite of passage, as well as a surefire way to have a once-in-a-lifetime musical experience. There isn’t much else to say, except “It’s GWAR, dude!”
GWAR’s name has often been thought to be an acronym that would give the public some sort of clue or explanation for their out-of-this-world behavior. Examples such as “God What an Awful Racket” or “Gay Weird Anal Reprobates” are as funny and as creative as the band’s music, but fall short of the truth. According to GWAR’s record label – SlavePitInc.com – GWAR is a shortened version of GWAARGGGH, the band’s original name. Turns out, that’s also the best way to tell someone what the band is all about: A noisy, weird spectacle unlike anything you have ever heard or seen.
All the cool kids here at Kickstand are very proud to announce the return of the almighty GWAR to Durty Nellie’s in Palatine on Wednesday, June 2nd. If you haven’t seen them before, now is your chance!
Joining Gwar that night will be the brutal Dirge Within, and Mobile Death Camp (featuring former GWAR member Todd Evans).
Tickets for the June 2nd show at Durty Nellie’s will be $22 in advance, and you can pick them up at Your Ticket Stand.
Here is a clip from last year’s crushing album Lust In Space:
