Today, legendary shock rockers, GWAR, have announced The Return Of Gor Gor Tour, a devastating North American headline campaign kicking off October 18 in Salt Lake City with support from Helmet, The Dwarves, and Blood Vulture. The tour celebrates GWAR’s 40th anniversary and the return of their long-lost, crack-addicted Dinosaur, Gor Gor. The tour also supports your Lords and Masters’ forthcoming multimedia release, The Return Of Gor Gor, out July 25 via Pit Records/Z2 Comics.
Blothar comments on The Return of Gor Gor Tour: “Gor Gor demands sacrifice! The Tyrant Teen is all grown up and he wants love! Don’t look him in the eye!! The beast demands a bride! Come in your bridal finery. An ocean of chiffon to satisfy the bloodlust of the great lizard!”

Blothar comments on The Return Of Gor Gor: “The last time I saw Gor Gor he was just a wee fart dragon. He had crawled on the hood of my Kia Soul and was holding on for dear life while I drove to the store to buy Clamato. I bathed him in wiper fluid and used my wipers to knock him off my sweet ride. Next thing I know, he’s a 20-foot tall trans-species prostitute working a pickle park. Apparently, he’s all grown up and looking for revenge. This record chronicles his struggles as a young Dino-American trying to make his way in a cruel world.”
