EAST VILLAGE — Expect things to get bloody on Avenue B this week.
The "foul-mouthed, crack-smoking and baby-eating alien" who fronts the horror-metal band GWAR will host a happy hour event at the new bar Idle Hands near East 2nd Street Wednesday night.
Oderus Urungus, the ancient extraterrestrial rock star and self-described "malevolent midget mutilator," is anchoring in Manhattan for a slew of media appearances and a meet-and-greet with the people of Earth this week.
"I have no idea why they wanted me to come here and do this," he told DNAinfo from his Antarctic lair.
"As much as I try to explain to people how I much I hate the human race and that I want to destroy them, I'm still going to come get drunk with the people. We'll put aside all the beheadings and we'll be getting down with the bros."
GWAR's costumed creatures have been playing their trademark brand of raunchy rock since the '80s, earning a cult following for their elaborate performances and blood-soaked stage acts.
Now, New Yorkers will get the chance to mix it up with the multimillion-year-old Urungus in advance of his band's concert next month in Brooklyn — that is, if he can make to the city in time.
"Anyone seen my pig?" he tweeted on Monday. "The brazen war-chariot cannot fly without four pigs, the Bat-shaped Helicopter is in the shop, and I need to get to N.Y.!"
Idle Hands co-owner Marc Schapiro explained that since his 4-month-old bar has so many ties to the music industry, the event fit perfectly with the spirit of his speakeasy-style space.
"I'm sure there there will be some stuff spilled, but I'm not too worried. We can get blood off the walls," he joked, adding a warning to potential groupies.
"You might not leave with all your limbs."
Urungus elaborated on what fans can anticipate during his visit.
"They should expect to be grabbed roughly and repeatedly struck in the chest and head with a broadsword," he explained. "If they can handle that, then I think they’ll have a good time — if they can get past the fact that they could get killed at any time."
"The Bloody Pit of Horror Happy Hour" runs from 7 to 10 p.m. Weds., Jan. 19, at Idle Hands, 25 Avenue B.
