It only takes one Gwar show to be a convert. For all the madness in the world, there are fewer things more fun than grown men dressed in fantasy body armor, screaming metal, and launching ammunition of blood among their audiences. It's definitely messy, but something every music fan should experience at least once to see what all their fans are going on about. Catch Gwar tonight at House of Blues. Meanwhile, B-boys and B-girls, head to the Casbah for another night of DJ Artistic's Battle Bots. There are contests for free-styling and dancing, and you can compete or just be a witness to the talent. Elsewhere, psych-rockers the Myrrors play Soda Bar, Candace (formerly known as Is/Is) heads up Blonde, and Stray Monroe headline the Merrow.
