Skyway Theatre Presents GWAR Friday, October 11th at Skyway Theatre Use Your Collusion Tour w/ support Sacred Reich Toxic Holocaust Against the Grain Tickets On-sale: Friday, 6/28 @ 10am Tickets $20 ADV | 18+ ➤ skywaytheatre.com/event/gwar ➤ GWAR gwar.net facebook.com/gwar instagram.com/gwar twitter.com/gwar youtube.com/user/gwar The story of GWAR is carved across the history of this barren and hopeless planet, but GWAR themselves are not of this world... their story begins in the deepest reaches of outer space. Long ago, the beings who would become the rock band GWAR were part of an elite fighting force, the Scumdogs of the Universe. For eons, they served as thralls to a supreme being known only as the Master. But one by one, each future member of the band earned a glaring reputation for being an intergalactic fuck-up. And so, they were banished, sent away on a fool’s errand to conquer an insignificant shitball floating in a dark corner of the universe; the planet Earth. Once here, GWAR shaped the face of the globe, destroying and rebuilding the natural world, and giving rise to all of human history. Aliens to some, gods and demons to others, our erstwhile Scumdogs fucked apes to create the human race, and this fateful unplanned pregnancy would prove to be truly disastrous! Their new album, “The Blood of Gods” is nothing less than a sacred text chronicling the rise of humanity against their makers, and the massive battle between GWAR and the forces of all that is uptight and wrong with the world. Along the way, the band challenges the sins of their great mistake, from politics, pollution, and organized religion, to fast food, and factory farming. Humans are shown as what they are; a parasitical disease that must be eradicated before they suck the planet dry. Of course, “The Blood of Gods” is the first GWAR album without the band’s fallen leader, Oderus Urungus. The title of the album refers to the loss of Oderus. and the struggles and triumphs that produced the new sound of the band. Born of adversity, “The Blood of Gods” is a sonic scar...a question asked and answered...Death cannot kill GWAR. Nothing can. w/ Support From ➤ Sacred Reich facebook.com/sacredreichofficial twitter.com/sacredreich instagram.com/sacredreichofficial We are excited to begin again. Having Dave back in the band brings a new drive and determination. Adding Joey on guitar has infused us with energy and confidence. They are both monster players and make our band tighter and heavier. The new songs have been twenty years in the making and reflect the sum of our learning and experience. The lyrics are very personal, positive and encouraging. The music is heavy and driving. The experience of making this record has been incredible on every level, far exceeding our expectations. We hope you can feel what we put into it when you hear the songs. We can’t wait to share it with you. Coming August 2019. See you out on the road. Peace and love. ➤ Toxic Holocaust facebook.com/ToxicHolocaust toxicholocaust.bandcamp.com twitter.com/toxicholocaust instagram.com/toxicholocaust_official TOXIC HOLOCAUST mutated into existence in 1999, when Joel Grind merged his love for classic punk and metal into his ideal band. Like his influences - Bathory, Venom, English Dogs, Possessed, Broken Bones - TOXIC HOLOCAUST featured blazing riffs, gravel-throated vocals, and a deadly fixation on the evil in man and a post-apocalyptic world. Grind wrapped all of these elements up with a DIY attitude. ➤ Against the Grain facebook.com/Againstthegraindetroit againstthegrain-atg.bandcamp.com Against the Grain have proven themselves to be true warriors of the road. Blazing through the US with their brand of gear-shifting balls-to-the-wall music that incorporates all things heavy, ATG defies categorization as they seamlessly blur the lines of punk, rock, doom and thrash. Maintaining a DIY tour ethic, ATG built a national fanbase with their bare hands - quenching the thirst for fast and heavy rock and roll throughout the land. ATG’s heavily anticipated 4th full length entitled Road Warriors is set to release on July 31st on Self-Destructo, and is primed to stake the claim for this Motor City combo’s place in the world of all things rock and roll. _________________________________________________ Skyway Theatre | The Loft at Skyway Theatre | Studio B | Bar Fly Minneapolis 711 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55403 www.skywaytheatre.com Show Questions?
