Intergalactic shock rock legends GWAR have returned to The A.V.
Club’s iconic A.V.
Undercover series for a record-breaking seventh appearance, officially surpassing their own previous record in the process.
This time, they set their sights on Chappell Roan’s modern pop anthem “Pink Pony Club,” transforming the song’s glitter-drenched celebration of identity and self-expression into a full-scale alien-metal spectacle.
What begins as euphoric pop catharsis quickly mutates into towering riffs, theatrical chaos, and the unmistakable sensory assault that has defined GWAR for four decades.
As Editor-in-Chief Danette Chavez notes, “We knew this iconic pairing had to happen.” The Berzerker Blöthar adds: “‘Pink Pony Club’ is about embracing exile from a boring, shitty world and remaking yourself into whatever you want—be who you are, be who you aren’t, piss people off, we don’t care!” GWAR’s return further solidifies their singular relationship with A.V.
Undercover.
Over the years, the band has become the series’ most frequent, most destructive, and most shameless repeat offenders.
The band is also returning to destroy stages across the United States with The Gor Gor Strikes Back Tour, a massive spring run featuring Soulfly as direct support and King Parrot opening every night.
