GWAR Need Your Help To Open Their Bar

To honour the memory of frontman David Brockie who passed away earlier this year, GWAR have set up a crowdfunding campaign to open a restaurant in Richmond, Virginia.

They've set their target on crowdfunding platform Indiegogo at $50,000, and once reached will be teaming up with award-winning Richmond restaurateur Travis Croxon and cocktail/menu expert Michael Derks to bring GWARbar to life.

“For years we have wanted to turn our demented eye to the service industry. With the untimely passing of our leader, Dave Brockie, we are more determined than ever to make one of his last dreams a reality,” GWAR said on Indiegogo.

Securing a building in Richmond's historic Jackson Ward, the band will use funds raised for extensive renovations to its interior and exterior, and to purchase kitchen equipment.

“We will be building a smoke house to create our world famous GWAR-B-Q. We need a GWAR sized meat grinder to make creative new takes on hot dogs and freshly ground hamburgers.

“Most exciting of all, we need funds to create Richmond's premiere beer garden (beer GWARden) and expansive upper level outdoor deck with views of Abner Clay Park. This unparalleled outdoor dinning area is sure to be the favourite hang out spot for everyone from rock stars to businessmen, celebrity chefs to starving artist.”

If you're keen to contribute to the cause, pledges begin at $1USD, which will get you the band's “undying scorn”, and go as high as $10,000USD, if you fancy a private party at GWARbar.
