Re: GWAR MUST DIE -> THE SLAVE REVOLT HAS BEGUN <- TOLEDO OHIO - DECEMBER 14

[Jon Jorden <allroy...>]

well the good slavemaster left a few important points out: GWAR formed in the 
mid-80's around some film projects at Virginia Commonwealth University among 
some students and/or ex students there. The lead singer aka Dave used to be in 
a punk band called Death Piggy who were quite good and i'm proud to own their 
records. Anyhow, in the early 90's gwar finalized their lineup when Mike 
Bishop (?) went to form Kepone and they got some new schmuck from a cheesy 
metal band called Rosebud or somesuch. Gwar also plays accoustic sets under a 
different name but you have to figure that out. They've also done other things 
of that nature using different names. X Police is an offshoot of gwar but i 
haven't heard the damn thing yet so i dont know what's what with that. oh and 
richmond virginia is antartica, and as dave says in Live From Antartica, the 
scene in Antartica used to really suck :)
