"GWAR have been destroying various galaxies for 40 years, and their long history is currently on display as the "LET THERE BE GWAR" exhibit at Los Angeles' Beyond the Streets gallery. "For 40 years, GWAR have mounted a misanthropic critique of American culture dressed up as shock rock," stated the band. "This collection of artifacts offers a sense of the unique punk-inspired anti-art aesthetics of underground comics, science fiction fandom, role-playing games, and satirical splatter flick nerdishness at the heart of the band.""
"Roger Gastman, founder of Beyond the Streets, added, "This isn't just a music exhibition. GWAR represents one of the most successful long-term art collectives in American culture, and their influence on both underground and mainstream entertainment is undeniable. They came to destroy... and ended up creating something eternal." The exhibit is free to attend from Wednesdays through Sundays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., running through November 2nd at 434 N La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles,"
