Gwar

And you thought KISS went all out? Extra-terrestrial metal-band Gwar has taken the whole costume/performance art/shock band thing to a new level over the past 26 years. But behind the costumes and celebrity ridicule during their live shows, the band, led by Dave Brockie’s Oderus Urungus, remains a consistently great metal band. Their twelfth studio album, Bloody Pit of Horror, was released earlier this month. Nevertheless, the best way to fill your mind with scenes of blood, piss and vomit – aside from a 3 a.m. stroll through Pioneer Square – is to see Gwar a few blocks down the road. With The Casualties, Infernaeon, Mobile Deathcamp. BRYDEN MCGRATH
