GWAR show canceled due to obscene content

By NORTHERN STAR STAFF

The GWAR show scheduled to be at Otto’s Niteclub May 11 has been canceled.

City Attorney Norma Guess said that after viewing videos of GWAR’s performances on YouTube, Chief of Police Bill Feithen and herself decided that the content violated the obscenity clause of Chapter 38, “Intoxicating Liquors” in the Municipal code.

The show has been moved to Durty Nellies Pub, 180 N. Smith St., in Palatine May 11. The doors will open at 7 p.m., and the show will begin at 8 p.m. Tickets purchased from Otto’s will be honored at this location. Refunds are available at ticketweb.com.
