GWAR: Beyond the Breakdown

GWAR: Beyond the Breakdown

A band fabled in the annals of heavy music and shock rock culture, GWAR invite us to take an exclusive look behind the scenes at how their entire bloodbath of an operation comes together, from the ethos of the band in the very beginnings in the 80s through to now, the music, the lore, and the infamous live shows with all of their pyro, human waste... and dinosaurs?

Hear from Blöthar and co, as well as the band's extended crew, about all the effort that goes into making such a large spectacle come to life in a production that features more work than most bands could dream of. Take a guided tour through the weird and wonderful wardrobe, explore the creation of the practical effects and characters, hear the GWAR die-hards tell their stories, and learn just how Gor Gor really comes to life
