Amazing dude. I loved the part at the end when they ate all the NPR correspondents and pooped their corpses into Hell
HAHAHAHAHA that’s amazing.
If you haven’t seen it, their appearance on The Onion’s Under Cover series (with Oderus RIP) was amazing.
EDIT: And also Get Into My Car by Billy Ocean
Lol epic cover!
Their cover was so good, I really wish it was released on a streaming service.
I really miss Under Cover. It legitimately introduced me to some great bands and had some of my favorite covers of all time.
Just a quick trip down memory lane:
Calexico - Highway to the Danger Zone
They Might Be Giants - Tubthumping
Titus Andronicis - Birdhouse in your Soul
Deer Tick - Flagpole Sitta
Cursive - Hey, Jealousy
Punch Brothers - Just What I Needed
Trampled By Turtles - Rebellion (Lies)
Of Montreal - Fell in Love with a Girl
Here’s a channel that reposted most of the videos that got taken down
All things considered not the worst that could’ve happened
Please explain… Who is GWAR? What is Tiny Desk? What’s going on??
Identified by their distinctively grotesque costumes, Gwar’s core thematic and visual concept revolves around an elaborate science fiction-themed mythology which portrays the band members as barbaric interplanetary warriors, a narrative which serves as the basis for all of the band’s albums, live shows and media. With over-the-top violent, sexual, and scatological humor typically incorporating social and political satire, Gwar has attracted both acclaim and controversy for its music and stage shows, the latter of which notoriously showcase enactments of graphic violence that result in the audience being sprayed with fake blood, urine, and semen. Such stagecraft regularly leads Gwar to be labeled a “shock rock” band by the media.
Tiny Desk Concerts is a video series of live concerts hosted by NPR Music at the desk of All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen in Washington, D.C.
Magic.
Not sure why you wrote it as quotes, but thank you for writing such a comprehensive answer to my questions. You truly are like magic, as you with no regard for humility, noted. The context given in the post was severely lacking.
Quoted because those were the first paragraphs from Wikipedia, just sucked to try to credit properly on mobile.
GWAR is a less-than-serious thrash metal band
Tiny Desk is a long-running series in which musicians (usually indie rock, but it has included all sorts over the years) are invited to do a stripped down set at, well, a tiny desk. There are a lot seriously high-quality performances in their archives, but GWAR… don’t quite fit the usual theme
Dear Apocalypse, You had to wait until after this happened? Really? - BP
LMFAO WHAT IS THAT?? I gotta listen to this!
It’s nice!!!
I’ve seen the cubs win the pennant and gwar talk to/about Terri Gross. Expecting horsemen any minute for the checklist.
GWAR on NPR, I’ve officially seen it all. Lmao TERRI GROSS IS A NATIONAL TREASURE. You’re goddamn right!
Well that was just fucking amazing!
