After a long absence from the public eye, intergalactic front-thing Oderus Urungus of the mighty GWAR will once again grace the cable-waves with his unlordly presence, as our wanna-be sports commentator appears on the Dan Patrick Show next week! That’s right, Oderus in all his fetid glory will enter the man-cave, meet the Danettes, and bask in the glow that is sure to emanate from the luminary figure that we all know Dan Patrick to be! Oderus will share the mike with the man who actually got to touch the Super Bowl trophy and Brooklyn Decker’s hand. The appearance is scheduled for Monday March 19th and the show airs from 9:00 AM EST from 12:00 PM EST.

“I’m not gonna lie. I am a big Dan fan, and a proud member of the Dan-nation. I find his smarmy charm most ingratiating. I also hope he can help me with my hair,” said the warty one, reached at his Antarctic abode. He continued -

“I’m not gonna lie…I hate people that say ‘I’m not gonna lie’. I mean, what does that mean, that someone  usually does lie when they talk to you? That unless they preface everything they say to you with ‘I’m not gonna lie”, you should assume they are lying to you? Dan Patrick would never do that. Dan’s a straight-shooter.”

Oderus is expected to talk about his new FEARnet TV show, “Holliston”, the future of GWAR, and of course sports. Our stinky ruler has been known to pen sports columns on occasion, and his obsession with the Washington Redskins is known by his thousands of twitter followers. He has even prepared a bracket for the upcoming NCAA tournament which he plans to present on the show.

”I have the VCU Rams triumphing over the Jamaican bob-sled team”, said our confused leader.

Legendary sports host Dan Patrick entertains America in morning drive along with his producers, “The Danettes.”  The Dan Patrick Show features the most extensive A-list interviews from the world of sports entertainment.  The radio show which airs in over 270 markets, features astute knowledge, a dry sense of humor and Patrick’s unique perspective, as well as a style which provides a “comfort zone” for his co-hosts.   Fans can also see The Dan Patrick Show live on TV each day on DirecTV and across all regional sports networks (FOX Sports Net, Comcast SN, MSG+, Root Sports).

In other GWAR news, your lords and masters have been confirmed to headline the New York Zombie Prom on June 9th at Irving Plaza in New York City. GWAR, will close the event which also features a pageant of the undead and a killer raffle for an original full page drawing from “The Walking Dead” comic book series. Half of the proceeds from the raffle will benefit The Smoot Family Fund. Tickets are available now and can be purchased HERE.

GWAR is set to kick off the second leg of “The Return of The World Maggot Tour” this Friday in Richmond, VA with a special tribute show for their fallen brother Cory Smoot AKA Flattus Maximus. The show will feature giveaways, raffles and much more as we celebrate the life of Cory Smoot. All proceeds from the show will go to The Smoot Family Fund, tickets can be purchased at the link below.

Kylesa, Ghoul and Legacy of Disorder To Provide Support
Not content with five weeks of North American destruction and devastation, mutant overlords GWAR have announced a second leg to their Spring “Return of the World Maggot Tour”. This leg kicks off April 13th in San Antonio, Texas and wraps up April 28th in Allentown, PA. Support on this leg of the tour will come from Kylesa, Ghoul and Legacy of Disorder.

Tickets for fan club members go on sale tomorrow February 8th and tickets will go on sale to the general public Friday February 10th .

“These press releases usually go something like this–”, said bellicose front-thing Oderus Urungus. “There is a general statement about what GWAR is up to, then I say something stupid, then it goes to a list of the shows and a bunch of links. That’s what’s happening right now. We really have to work harder to make these things more interesting.”

Oderus adjusted his tie and continued — “We are finishing this last spate of shows as a tribute to fallen Scumdog Flattus Maximus, and will be playing as a four piece behind the screaming assault of Balsac. In this way we shall give all the US bohabs ample chance to fall to their knees in a sobbing heap when confronted with the reality of Flattus’ departure…and a chance to say farewell. Then GWAR can move forward, and we shall.”

The first leg of the tour kicks off with a special tribute show for fallen band mate and friend Cory Smoot, AKA Flattus Maximus, in Richmond, VA, at The National Theater on Friday March 16th. All proceeds from the Richmond show will benefit the “Smoot Family Fund” which has been established to help support Cory’s widow and their unborn child. Support on this run will come from fellow Richmond metallers Municipal Waste and California’s Ghoul. Legacy of Disorder will join the tour on March 20th in Boston and will run through April 11th in Fort Collins, CO.
