Shock rockers Gwar are known for their sci-fi costumes and infamously messy live shows, which feature spewing of fake bodily fluids out onto the crowd. Their November 28th show at the Showbox SoDo did not disappoint fans, many of whom were clad in pure white shirts, hoping to get drenched in “blood.” Even photographers aren’t exempt from getting squirted in the face (or lens), and we were warned that ourselves and our cameras would be prime targets in the photo pit. By far one of the most fun and visually stunning shows to shoot this year.
