GWAR have a female vocalist now
UPDATE: According to a press release from GWAR, Vulvatron is not exactly the new frontwoman of the band (though it does look like she's one of the vocalists); she will have a “more mysterious” role (defined in the press release as “head bitch in charge”). Read part of the press release:
“GWAR, the most brutal band in existence, has bolstered its ranks leading up to the GWAR Eternal Tour. The Berserker Blóthar and Vulvatron are the latest intergalactic warriors to be banished to the pathetic mudball known as Planet Earth. Blóthar; a fat, filthy, frozen space viking, will take over as GWAR’s lead vocalist. The role of the red-hot cybernetic spitfire known as Vulvatron is more mysterious…Both will feature prominently in the anticipated GWAR Eternal Tour – which promises to be the most shocking and entertaining rock show of the year! Get to know your new masters before they grind you to a bloody pulp!”
ORIGINAL STORY: After the tragic death of GWAR frontman Dave Brockie (a.k.a. Oderus Urungus) earlier this year, the band have now found a replacement member.
Music blog Wondering Sound recently introduced the band’s new frontwoman, Vulvatron (pictured), “a spiky purple Amazon whose massive (prosthetic) breasts occasionally shoot geysers of blood out onto her hapless audience.”
Vulvatron had her debut performance with GWAR at the band's recent Riot Fest Chicago gig. She will share vocal duties with Mike “Blothar” Bishop. Read more about Vulvatron from Wondering Sound:
“Vulvatron is not dancing, or breathing fire, or keeping the slaves in line (though one assumes she'll be adept at all three). For the first time since the departure of dancer and backing singer Slymenstra Hymen (Danielle Stampe) in 2000, GWAR has a female member, and she's the frontwoman.
To split hairs, she's actually GWAR’s new co-frontperson, joining reinstated vocalist Blothar (Mike Bishop) whose Beefcake the Mighty character was introduced in 1988.”
