GWAR Smells, er, KILLS The Music!

Exclusive report from Atlanta concert and book signing...

By Blurt Staff

You could smell the love in the air.  As you can tell from the above photo, author Michael Plumides (also BLURT's Social Networking Editor) had his first photo op since the release of his book, Kill The Music, with lead singer and ex-jailhouse roomie David Brockie, AKA Oderus Urungus of the shock-cock-rock group, GWAR.

Plumides and Brockie were both present for a book signing and performance at Masquerade in Atlanta, Georgia, Tuesday October 6, 2009.  Brockie and his Richmond based band are celebrating their 25th Anniversary, and the release of Lust In Space on Metal Blade Records, which debuted at #94 on Billboard in August.  GWAR recently is spawning not only loads of bodily fluids but also sponsorships from the likes of Jagermeister, and drew 1000-plus screaming, blood-soaked fans to the Masquerade. 

An amazing show but it was a bit too sultry in the room, almost enough to see steam coming off punks and metal heads, and on several occasions, BLURT staff members witnessed bouncers carrying out young slam-dancing nymphs suffering from heat exhaustion. Look for the new issue of BLURT on newsstands next week for an excerpt of Kill The Music, along with never before seen photos of the infamous GWAR show in North Carolina in September of 1990.
