GWAR returned to Minneapolis to destroy the Skyway Theater's newest venue The Lyric. Mayhem ensued and no one left without a little bit of GWAR goodness.

NEKROGOBLIKON proved to be the perfect act to play right before GWAR.

CROBOT started off the party with tracks from their awesome new album "Feel This"!
