That was the absolute most wildest show I have ever attended. The Senate was packed from wall to wall, front to back, and by the end of the night it turned into one giant mosh pit. I started out at the stage, but ended up halfway to the merch tables in the back. Such a great time. GWAR never disappoints, but Toxic Holocaust was the best surprise of the night. I love some old school thrash metal, and my God they threw down. If you have a chance to see these guys, do it. But be prepared, it will get rowdy.

GWAR Biography
Blood. Spectacle. Lifestyle. Mythology. Costumes. And more blood.
When you think of beloved shock-metal outfit GWAR, those words are likely the first that come to mind. And with good reason. Since forming in Richmond, Virginia in 1985, GWAR have not only managed to endure through various lineup changes, but have become one of the most beloved bands in all of metal. The only thing as sharp as their over-the-top lyrics is their mesmerizing live show which continues to make them one of the must-see, and most memorable, acts today.
At a time when bands have become bland, GWAR stands out for their performances and the intimate connection with their fans. Once the lights dim and the curtain rises, fans know what they’re in for: a night of theatrics, storytelling and humor that’s more Devo than KISS. Their iconic, signature barbaric interplanetary warriors costumes may be what the wider world knows them for, but it’s their shows that continues to resonate with their devoted following.
The push-and-pull between GWAR and their fans creates a visceral experience that continues to add to the band’s legend and legacy, one new tour at a time. Few, if any band, can break down a physical barrier with their audience quite like GWAR. Fluids fly, substances spray and the lust for copious amounts of fake blood [and cutting heads off, of course] leaves audiences thirsty for more.
The mythological nature of their live shows may be at the forefront of people’s minds, but it is GWAR's meticulously crafted songs blend (ING) satire, chaos and violence, made them cultural icons.
