Maris The Great
03Apr09
I have been waiting for this day for a long time. Until now I thought the only celeb with whom I shared a name was Niles’s ex-wife on Frasier, but apparently I was mistaken. Welcome to my world, Maris The Great and the Faggots of Death. A truly remarkable discovery–I love everything about this Maris and his band: their ethos, their song titles, their makeup, their stage antics.
From the band’s bio:
Lead by the band’s leader and namesake, Maris The Great is the gay zombie of Rock and Roll that threatens to take your life or (if you’re a cute boy) your wee wee. Their shows are visual rockfests full of glitter, gore and projectile fecal matter.
As Alex said, “Maris, they totally stole your schtick.” Those bastards.
Gwar Harvey Fierstein = Genius
“So I told her ‘get that wee wee’” Oh no I shit meSelf laughing
Get that wee wee LOL
GWAR + The Meatmen + Pansy Division = Maris. Oh — and also that band Maris The Great.
Glad you have figured out my whole aesthetic, Kali.
