GWAR have taken part in NPR‘s ‘Tiny Desk Concert Series’, bringing their inimitable live performance to NPR‘s headquarters in Washington, DC. You can watch that carnage unfold below.
Vocalist Blothar the Beserker commented:
“We learned a lot from those goody-goodys at NPR. For instance, how to say…’Your support right now is vital to GWAR’s ability to bring you quality cultural and educational programming that leaves you soaked in bodily fluids and shame.’ NPR can give you coffee cups and satin totes, but we can give your souls eternal torment, so give to GWAR today.”
The inspiration to get GWAR performing as a part of the series actually came about as satire first, courtesy of this 2020 article from The Hard Times.
This performance saw the band rip through the following tracks:
“Sex Cow”
“I’ll Be Your Monster”
“Ratcatcher”
“Phantom Limb”
