While we still mourn the huge loss of legendary GWAR frontman Dave Brockie, who portrayed Oderus Urungus, the official public memorial will happen in August the night before the GWARBQ.
It was unknown previously if GWAR would be playing the GWARBQ, but after news surfaced that Gwar was added to Riot Fest in September, it seems all bets are on! Add to the fact that GWAR just released this statement:
ATTENTION!!!
GWAR is Sharpening Blades to Perform at the 5th Annual GWAR B-QTickets go on SALE JUNE 6th
From the depths of the GWAR temple, beneath the frozen wasteland of Antarctica, mutant penguins swim towards America with news of GWAR’s triumphant return to the stage as the headliner at this year’s GWAR B-Q. The 5th annual gathering of meat, metal and mayhem will take place on Saturday, August 16th at Hadad’s Lake (www.hadadslake.com) in Richmond, VA. Scientists work around the clock to translate the high-pitched chatter of the mutant penguin hoard as they approach landfall.
Conflicting reports indicate that GWAR’s performance will be lead by none other than, original recipe Beefcake the Mighty aka Mike Bishop or quite possibly it was misinterpreted as the Colonel’s original chicken recipe. Who knows? Be there to find out for yourself as this historic metal event unfolds.
Other random Facebook posts and tweets confirm that original Scumdog members will descend on the GWAR B-Q to bear witness to a Viking funeral for Oderus Urungus, whose form will burn upon the SS Boat as he makes his journey back to Valhalla and beyond. This public memorial will be held from 4pm-7pm on Friday, August 15th at Hadad’s Lake (www.hadadslake.com) in Richmond, VA. and is open to even the lowliest of bohabs.
Sounds like the GWARBQ is a can't miss event this year.
