Gwar Coming To Vegas · EDGe Vegas

I don’t write too much about touring bands coming to Las Vegas very often, but I saw a press release last week that Gwar was coming to Vegas on April 9th and I was a little surprised since there aren’t many venues where i could imagine Gwar playing. There aren’t many venues in Vegas that have heavy music, let alone a band like Gwar. Gwar will draw about 500-1,000 people at most shows they play and they’ll destroy most of the clubs they play with fake blood splatter. Beyond the blood flying everywhere there is a ton of production that’s part of the show that may or may not involve mutilating someone or something.

Gwar is a mix of heavy metal and punk rock and may not be everyone’s cup of tea musically, but they are definitely a fun band to see live. They’re not the kind of band that I’ve needed to listen to on my on CD or iPod, but they’ve been a band I’ve seen a few times without regret. Unlike real diehard fans you won’t catch me wearing a white t-shirt and standing near the stage so I leave splattered in blood.

I can’t imagine that the Hard Rock Cafe on the strip will have Gwar back again and I’m not sure there will be a place for them to play ever again. This may be your last chance to see Gwar in Vegas.
