GWAR Smashes Records Again On A.V. Undercover With “Pink Pony Club” Cover

Having apparently run out of rules to follow, records to respect, and institutions to leave uncorrupted, Gwar have returned to The A.V. Club’s A.V. Undercover series for a historic seventh appearance, officially surpassing their own record for most appearances.

This time, Gwar set their sights on Chappell Roan‘s modern pop anthem “Pink Pony Club,” transforming the song’s glitter-drenched celebration of identity into a full-scale alien-metal spectacle. Euphoric pop catharsis quickly mutates into towering riffs, theatrical chaos, and the sensory assault that has defined Gwar for over 40 years.

“As we put together the song list for A.V. Undercover season 10, we knew this iconic pairing had to happen,” says Danette Chavez, Editor-in-Chief of The A.V. Club. “I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this landmark season than seeing Gwar on the stage in their heels hooves, singing ‘Pink Pony Club.'”

The Berzerker Blöthar adds: “‘Pink Pony Club’ is about embracing exile from a boring, shitty world and remaking yourself into whatever you want — be who you are, be who you aren’t, piss people off, we don’t care!”

Gwar‘s return further cements their unparalleled relationship with A.V. Undercover. Over the years, they’ve become the series’ most frequent, most destructive, and most shameless repeat offenders, previously dismantling tracks by Kansas, Billy Ocean, Cyndi Lauper, AC/DC, Pet Shop Boys, and even the Barbie soundtrack. With this seventh appearance, Gwar now stands alone atop a record they themselves refuse to stop breaking.

Intergalactic legends Gwar are returning to destroy stages across the United States with the announcement of The Gor Gor Strikes Back Tour, a massive spring run featuring Soulfly as direct support and King Parrot opening every night.

The carnage kicks off March 19th in their adopted hometown of Richmond, VA, and rampages through April 29th, ending in Charlotte, NC. A complete list of dates is below. Get your tickets here.
