The latest episode of Vice Magazine’s web series Marshall Headphones: On The Road hit the internet last week, and it features an in-depth look behind the scenes at the Slave Pit, the mysterious factory at the heart of Richmond in which all of the props and costumes for GWAR are created. After getting a tour around the facilities, and hearing some interesting stories about the early days of GWAR from Dave Brockie and some of the other workers there, Marshall Headphones host (and notoriously insane frontman for DC’s Les Savy Fav) Tim Harrington gets dressed up in a bodysuit and attempts to audition for a role in GWAR’s stage show, at which point Oderus Urungus gives him more than he bargained for. There’s some other cool stuff in this 14-minute episode, including a visit with the Black Lips and Vivian Girls at a show in Omaha, and a short Les Savy Fav performance at the end of the video, but the portion of the video that’s going to be of principal interest to Richmonders begins around the 6 minute mark. Enjoy!
