Still? Is this still from the "obscenity and cruelty" charge they got like 8 or 9 years ago?
Last I heard Sly was whoring herself out to California "freak" shows (Jim Rose, etc.) and conventions (Dragon-Con, E3). As I recall, she used to teach Aerobics and Sculpture classes in earlier years. There's a comedy sketch there somewhere...
From Wikipedia: Gwar were, at one time, banned from performing in their home city of Richmond, Virgina due to their raucous stage performances. During that time they would appear in their home town under the pseudonym Rawg and play sans costumes. The ban was later lifted and the band can now play in Richmond again in full gory attire.
Gwar is funny. Gwar's later stuff is actually pretty impressive on theory - polyrythims, myxolidian scales, minor to major modulation, etc. Gwar's lyrics are unitelligible but highly tounge in cheek Gwar has cook-outs at their warehouse/studio for fans.
There are ot alot of bands, especially in their "genre" that can say that.
And I'm not even a huge fan.
Unless its contrived I have a hard time making fun of anyone's taste in music. Gwar is a good exception to that rule: they're sort of aware of how contrived the whole thing is. Think WWF.
