Since their arrival on the heavy metal scene in 1984, Gwar has been anything but shy.
Dave Brockie, the man behind the Oderus mask, purportedly smoked crack behind a dumpster with folks from the heavy metal magazine Decibel during an interview in 2010.
Maybe it’s true, maybe not — after almost 30 years of playing a man-beast with a cuttlefish phallus, Brockie and Oderus have become too intertwined to tell what’s what.
This weekend marks Gwar’s first appearance in Minneapolis since the death of guitarist Flattus Maximus, aka Cory Smoot, in 2011.
