Having apparently run out of rules to follow, records to respect, and institutions to leave uncorrupted, intergalactic shock rock legends GWAR have returned to The A.V. Club’s iconic A.V. Undercover series for a record-breaking seventh appearance, officially surpassing their own previous record in the process.

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 and self-expression into a full-scale alien-metal spectacle. What begins as euphoric pop catharsis quickly mutates into towering riffs, theatrical chaos, and the unmistakable sensory assault that has defined GWAR for four decades.

“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 of Undercover 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 solidifies their singular relationship with A.V. Undercover. Over the years, the band has become the series’ most frequent, most destructive, and most shameless repeat offenders, previously dismantling songs by artists ranging from Kansas and Billy Ocean to 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.

In other GWAR news, the band will return to the road this spring with The Gor Gor Strikes Back Tour, a massive U.S. run featuring Soulfly as direct support and King Parrot opening every night. The tour kicks off March 19th in GWAR’s adopted hometown of Richmond, VA, and rampages through April 29th, concluding in Charlotte, NC. For the full list of dates, please see below!
