#pustulus

Before Gwar invaded the stage, Empire Extreme got to sit down and talk to Blothar and Pustulus hoping not to be the next on the meat grinders list of victims.

EE: Do you guys want to say hello?

Pustulus: Umm…No

Blothar: Yes this is the berserker Blothar, how are you doing?

EE: How was you’re trip to Baltimore?

P: it was great, we tried not to get murdered

B: Pretty good, I’ve got a little cookie jar with packets of mayo

P: I requested that.

B: it’s great to be here, Hampden one of the last great working class neighborhoods. I walk around there now and it looks like it’s full of fucking yuppie scum. So that’s depressing. It is as the bus stops say the greatest city in America. I told my über driver that he laughed out loud.

P: A friend of mine told me that the new district attorney lady was the first to give him a rim job, but I heard she’s a great lady though.

EE: I know the last time beefcake was excited to get his Old Bay, did he get any this time?

B: I don’t know what that fat fuck is doing. He sprinkles on his little shrimp wiener. He can buy that anywhere.

P: I think in 2019 we need to make Beefcake Mighty again.

B: Yes

EE: is he the unmighty right now?

B: No comment.

EE: is there a chance for another GwarBQ in 2019?

B: I fucking hope not. (Laughs)

P: I’ve ran out of money to put into the fire.

B: it’s a money pit, if we can do it and not lose money it be great. Unfortunately the guy who owned it we killed so, now we don’t know where to put it. It was a money losing adventure.

P: Yeah we hired people to tell us how to lose money. And by we I mean someone other than myself. GwarBQ was great when we did more local bands when it had a smaller feel to it. I think of it does come back that’s how I would like to see it, unless Live Nation buys it and GooGoo Dolls will be headlining it. I think we should do a cross platform and mix it in with the swinger lifestyle. With orgies and Fetlife and wife swapping.

EE: What about furies?

P: No furies, that’s just weird.

EE: Call it WhoreBQ, “ Come get your fuck on”

P: that’s actually the slogan.

EE: How did you guy like the pop up Gwar Bar that was in DC?

P: I think it was great. It was a great idea. It was successful. Shows that we can possibly do one permanent in this area. The one in Richmond does very well. I think if we can find more people we can trust, You’ll see more of them popping up.

B: That’s going to be harder than it sounds finding people we can trust. The Ghoul Bar is doing well. Ghoul the band has one but it’s a smoothie bar.

EE: How’s the response been for the new album?

P: it’s been forgotten

B: it would probably do better if we had a sexy lead singer but we don’t. So what you got is a fat mother fucker who knows how to sing up there and nobody wants to see that. I think we set out to make a gwar record that sounds like a Gwar record and we succeeded and without Oderus which we went into it knowing that we can do something. I’m very happy about the record. A music journalist told me that Gwar had quietly been putting out good records.

EE: Any plans on a new album?

P: I think that’s what we are going to do right after this tour. Otherwise we have nothing to do but beat our dicks.

EE: I’ve read that people have been offended by the remarks made at Warped Tour about Linkin Park but I love always said that’s a Gwar remark if I’ve ever heard one.

P: It was a very Gwar Remark. I don’t know who said it though.

B: Apparently I said it (laughs)

P: That’s how it works for us with the media we shift blame, I said it then he said.

B: it’s all true though. Stinkin Park is a bad band. It’s weird though people and the world have changed a lot though and Gwar has remained the same. That’s always been true. When Gwar started it was mostly art kids that loved us, the world now on the left and the right have loss their sense of humor. Both sides are guilty of that. Gwar pushes that envelope. Oderus said awful shit about bands and people dying and you never had the gasping about it as you do now.

EE: Anything else you like to say to the fans before I let you go? What can the fans expect for the gwar show?

P: Well you’re not going to make it to the Gwar show because of that Faygo Candy Apple, I have a feeling that you’re going to drop dead of type 2 diabetes right away. Fucking come see Gwar we will knock your dick in the dirt.

P: We are playing a show in America on New Years Eve. It’s in America in Norfolk VA.

Hey all! For those GWAR fans, you may have seen these, but my art was commissioned to be in the GWAR - ORGASMAGEDDON comic!!!  Which is the biggest thing to happen to me art-wise, it was very exciting! (especially since GWAR is a huge part of my life)

Here are the full colored versions of the pieces of my art that have already been featured! I can’t legally sell prints of them or anything, but feel free to observe them with your eye holes They can be found on the inside covers of the comics. 

Blothar emerges, confused and angry to have been awoken from his slumber.
