(movie) Shudder´s This Is Gwar offers great insight into this special band!

Good people at Shudder continue to bombard us with great movies, this time a feature length documentary about one of the greatest little bands out there. Gwar never made it to front lines of the scene, but they managed to be a legendary band. This movie offers insight about how they came to be, how they did their art and costumes, creating a gang of misfit monster barbarians from outer space. In fact, they are real life outcast bunch of musicians and artists led by great and unfortunately gone too soon Dave Brockie, aka Oderus Urungus who was a main creative and driving force behind this band. Their shows are legendary, with fountains of fake blood and cum and similar body fluids, theatre, sci fi storytelling and above all, great music. This is a nice chronologically done movie, which through archive footage and interviews delivers insight into all ups and downs, fights, disappointments, deaths and reincarnations of these legends. This one if contender for one of the best music documentaries that came out this year. Go see this one.
