GWAR, Priestess, & Cattle Decapitation
It can't be easy to open for one of the most notorious live bands in the world and to put up with their bloodthirsty fanbase, but deathgrinders CATTLE DECAPITATION and retro-rockers PRIESTESS both think they're up for the task. GWAR is taking both bands out on their upcoming jaunt, where we're sure to see what happens when a band that writes about killing humans (and has an awesome new album) meets a band that dismembers people onstage. Dates and our ODERUS URUNGUS interview (from the set of the "School's Out" video) are after the jump.

Re: GWAR, Priestess, & Cattle Decapitation
I was wondering how big the place was. Considering since it is on Rt 38 in Dekalb I didn't think it would be too big. I was at The Hosue Cafe for a show not too long ago and that place was small. But do you think they will have enough room for a good stage show? I have yet to see GWAR but I want the show to be good.Bar Rat wrote:Another fine establishment....I barely remember that place but isn't it kinda small for Gwar's theatrics?MetalStrikesDown wrote:Me, myself, and I are going to this show.MetalStrikesDown wrote:5/11 Dekalb, IL @ Otto's Niteclub

Last time I was there was in 2002 and I was seeing a KISS tribute band. I don't believe they even played on a stage but there has to be one in that place somewhere.MetalStrikesDown wrote:I was wondering how big the place was.

doesn't look that small. not much of stage, but i'm sure gwar can manage
i saw them once at a venue that wasn't even a concert venue. they actually played on the floor of a dance club with fans surrounded the "stage" on various tiers that surrounded the floor (normally where table and chairs would be for clubbers to overlook the dance floor). and unless you were in the first few rows you couldn't really see shit. I remember a lot of fights breaking out because people were trying to push forward just to see the band....who was playing below them. after that concert, I never had high expectations for a concert again.
I found this article that sums up the entire experience quite well:
http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/2002-10 ... -of-blood/
"You couldn't see anything," reports a long-time fan who eventually found a riser near the bar to stand on. "I saw the top of their heads, that's it. People were walking out saying, 'If they ever book another show in here, I'm not coming.' It was just a fiasco. The band came out, and Brockie yelled, 'Before we play a single note, I just want you to know this is the most fucked-up show I've ever played in my life!'"

Yeah that doesn't really make sense to have the band BELOW the crowd. GWAR's never disappointed me live, even when we saw them in a small venue that could only hold about 100 people and Brockie was completely wasted as fuck, it was awesome.

Awesome show last night. They set up the wrestling ring and had Intergalactic Championship Wrestling
Setlist highlights for me were: Short History of the End of the World, Rock and Roll Never Felt So Good, Slaughterama, You Ain't Shit Until You Learn How to Rock, The Private Pain of Techno Destructo, and Crush Kill Destroy
Oh yeah, Brockie was talking to these girls in line before the show and besides them I was the only one who recognized him. I asked him to get me in for free along with the ladies. Didn't work.
