In GWAR news...

As the awesome news of the no sleep til Auckland set times being released hit us last night- GWAR have announce (via facebook) that their pet dinosaur Gor-Gor "has arrived in Perth, Australia, to prepare for the coming of GWAR!"

To the casual observer this news might not bare the same oomph, but to realise the full force of GWAR is unable to be present in New Zealand deflates my massive enthusiasm to see the band, for a second.

This is, of course, just confirmation of what Oderus Urungus told me during my interview with him a few weeks ago, he suggested Gor-Gor might not make the swim to NZ. Confusing, because the band apparently used a network of underground tunnels to move from show to show.
To quote Oderus, from my interview:
"...the human cities are linked with sub-terrianian tunnels, that honey-comb your planet and there's often very convenient kind of jet cars you can drive around on..." This begs the question Why Gor-Gor couldn't make it to NZ, maybe he's too big for the tunnels, or a bit claustrophobic, who knows...

To be Fair, this is what Oderus had to say
DALE: "Gor-Gor's coming to New Zealand, am I right?"
ODERUS: "I'm not... oh, oh, oh don't lock me down to that because I do believe he'll be showing up in Australia, I don't know if he'll make the swim out to kiwi-land or not."

Here's a recent shot of Gwar I found on the internet.
