Gwar – School's Out [*]

Biography
Richmond, United States (1985-1986 – present)
The origin and meaning of the band’s name has been left intentionally vague by its members, although the most widely accepted explanation (though false and denied by the band members) is that GWAR is an acronym for “God What an Awful Racket!” One rumor states that the name may have come from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ graphic novel Watchmen, in which a poster reads, “Pink Triangle LIVE at the Gay Women Against Rape Benefit Concert.” Other unsubstantiated rumors state that GWAR! is the sound monsters make in old horror movies, or that a fan at a club yelled “You should call your band…” and vomited before he could finish, making a sound close to the word GWAR. A final possibility, and the most viable as of yet, coming from sources close to the band suggests strongly that the name comes from the answer David Brockie gave to Hunter Jackson when asked what the band should be called.

Hello everyone! I just wanted to inform you that I've been feeling a bit under the weather recently…actually more than a bit. After eating a handful of cashews my mouth was nearly overcome with the sickly sterile flavor of chapstick. To put it simply, I will never eat cashews while congested again.

Also, Dave Brockie has a phenomenal voice, he can bellow with the best of them, sing great melodic lines, or just jibber-jabber in a silly voice all while fitting perfectly over the music.
