GWAR Go Full GWAR on Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club”

by | Jan 17, 2026 | METAL, PUNK, THRASH & HARDCORE, POP & TOP 40

“‘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!” The Berzerker Blöthar

Richmond legends GWAR are back on The A.V. Club’s A.V. Undercover for an unprecedented seventh appearance, because of course they are.

This time they took a chainsaw to “Pink Pony Club” by Chappell Roan, dragging the glitter-pop anthem straight into the pit and turning it into a full-on GWAR ritual.

The performance drops as GWAR gear up for their Gor Gor Strikes Back Tour starting in March. After decades of chaos, decapitation, and satire, they’re still finding new ways to surprise people and making Richmond look unreasonably dangerous on a national stage.
