GWAR

I had an assignment from SLAM, an Austrian rcck magazne who was doing an article about GWAR.

I shot them in a German concert. Besides photographing the concert, I wanted to shoot a “studio” portrait.

I had never heard GWAR’s music and had no idea that the band sprayed fake blood all over their fans during their show. They were kind enough not to spray me though.

After the show, I was lurking by the exit and saw hundreds of fans wearing what had been white t-shirts, now covered with the blood.

Souveniers…?

Their concerts are quite chaotic.

GWAR works at being shocking. Here is Mr. Hitler ranting at the crowd of believers.

Love the elaborate costuming.

This is one of the “studio” shots I made before their concert. What costumes. They were really as scary as they looked.
