GWAR spews out second leg of U.S. tour

The presidential election is behind us, but that's not stopping costumed rockers GWAR from adding another leg to their "Mock the Vote" tour.

The new round of shows kicks off at the end of January, and dates so far extend into late February; details are shown below. More shows are expected, according to GWAR's website.

The roadwork supports last October's "War Party," GWAR's first album of all-new material in more than three years.

The theatrical group, which marries music and cartoonish gore, is framing its push behind "War Party" as a mission to "align the Republicans, the Democrats, al-Qaeda, the K.K.K. and all other divisive factions into one great seething ball of hate, bent on its own destruction," according to a press release.

GWAR's website features a free download of the "War Party" title track, as well as streaming versions of that song and two others: "Krosstika" and "Decay of Grandeur."

Also posted at the site is information on a charity auction featuring a number of GWAR-related items. Half of the proceeds will benefit the "Dimebag" Darrell Memorial Fund--established in the name of the late Pantera/Damageplan guitarist Darrell Abbott, who was slain onstage in December--and the other half to the Red Cross International Relief Fund.
