Aliens invaded a vacant lot on Baton Rouge’s 20th Street last week. Nearby residents, showing a wary mix of shock and curiosity, stared at the noisy, gnarly creatures from their cottage and shotgun-house porches.

But seriously, earthlings, the visitors on 20th Street, who could pass for life forms from another planet, were members of GWAR, a heavily costumed, wildly theatrical heavy-metal-thrash-rock band from Richmond, VA.

The morning after a sold-out, mock mayhem-filled show for cheering fans at the House Of Blues in New Orleans - part of GWAR’s 25th anniversary tour - the band came to Baton Rouge to shoot scenes for a music video for 'Lords And Masters', a song from the new CD, Lust In Space.

Chris Trainor, the video’s Baton Rouge-based director, previously shot a GWAR video for 'Eighth Lock', a track on the band’s 2006 album, Beyond Hell, at New Orleans Halloween attraction House of Shock.

“House of Shock was the perfect look for these guys because we had a million-dollar set every corner we turned,” Trainor said.

GWAR and Trainor considered filming 'Lords And Masters' at a Halloween attraction in Baton Rouge, but, not wanting to repeat themselves, opted for something completely different: GWAR in the out-of-context world of hip-hop.

With the help of local rapper Mark Young, aka M Dot, Trainor located hip-hop models and cars and the 20th Street location. The video also features GWAR lounging poolside as bikini-clad human females serve grapes and champagne to the infamous Scumdogs Of The Universe.

“Obviously, anything they do is out of context,” Trainor said. “But I couldn’t think of anything more absurd than cars on hydraulics with spinning wheels and girls pouring champagne over them.”
