Gwar has been around for almost 30 years since their formation long ago the band has toured countless times, released several albums, and has gotten a whole lot more happening between now the next year. Frontman Oderus Urungus vocals for the almighty Gwar discusses with me the band's recent tour, upcoming album details, and a whole lot more touring to come.
1. How was the tour?
Oderus: It was a fucking blast!
2. You guys have been a band for almost 30 years what comes to mind?
Oderus: That fact that we have only been a band for 27 years.
3. Your last album Bloody Pit of Horror was your twelfth album to date, what do you have in-store for your thirteenth album?
Oderus: No idea until the search for a new Scumdog guitar player begins...we can never replace Flattus, but we are a two-guitar band...until we are again we can't even think about a new album. So we will be venturing into the lower levels of the GWAR dungeon and poking about for a new Scumdogs!4. When it comes to your outfits have you all ever just got together and walked down the street to see people's reactions or are you all too cool to do that?
Oderus: We walk down streets all the time but not to see people’s reactions, rather, we do it to take advantage of all that wonderful shopping!
5. For someone who wouldn't know anything about Gwar what would be a short but brief summary on who you are and what your story is about?
Oderus: That's impossible. Try Google!
6. What image do you think your music conveys?
Oderus: Hopefully one of a helpless bunny rabbit being stomped to death with a pair of hobnail Nazi boots... or something even worse!
7. You've toured with an array of various acts but who are the acts that you'd want to see Gwar tour with?
Oderus: I have always thought a GWAR/Slayer/Motorhead bill would be the tits. BIG tits!
8. What about places you've toured all over the world is there a spot Gwar has not made their mark in yet?
Oderus: Plenty! We go everywhere on foot so it's taking time to get everywhere.
9. Since we're on the topic of touring, the first time I ever saw you guys was on the 2006 Sounds of the Underground Tour, do you remember that?
Oderus: Ummmm...yes, but not the "you-seeing-us" part. I do remember that it ruled!
10. Throughout all the years that you have been around Gwar has always stuck to the original outfits or has there been a change up over the years?
Oderus: They mutate slowly over the years, and I even had a tentacle for an arm at one point. As things get hacked off they grow back, but we have always had the same basic look...sexy!
11. Who designed the outfits and how long does it take each one of you to get ready?
Oderus: We design and build them ourselves. Seeing as we never take them off, I guess no time at all!
12. What else can we expect to see from the almighty Gwar as far as 2012 is concerned?
Oderus: Fall tour and writing for the new album.
13. Is that your final answer?
Oderus: No! We are going to finish our tour, find our new Scumdog, and play our fucking GWAR B Q in Richmond, Aug. 18th. Then there will be a fall tour and then after that a new album...but that won’t be out till next year.
