Timeline

1963

David Murray Brockie (August 30, 1963 – March 23, 2014) was a Canadian-American musician, who was the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Gwar, in which he performed as Oderus Urungus.

He performed as a bassist and lead singer in the bands Death Piggy, X-Cops, and the Dave Brockie Experience (DBX), and starred in the comedy horror TV sitcom Holliston as Oderus Urungus.

1980

In the late 1980s Brockie, along with Chuck Varga, created the now-famous original design mask.

After Hell-O!, he added large shoulder pads.

1981

He attended Oak View Elementary School and graduated from James W. Robinson Secondary High School in 1981.

David's interest in playing music began in high school.

David was a huge fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus and frequently impersonated their skits with friends.

1983

He possessed a vivid imagination and was very creative throughout his youth, contributing comics and artwork in 1983 to Nihil Obstat, a Richmond, Virginia-based fanzine.

1984

Brockie portrayed Oderus Urungus, Gwar's lead singer, from Gwar's inception in 1984 until his death.

Oderus appeared as an intergalactic humanoid barbarian with devil horns and a meaty-looking face, and carried a long sword named "Unt Lick" and a cuttlefish around his loins.

According to the character's backstory, Oderus Urungus is 50 billion years old, and was assembled on a planet called Scumdogia in "Syntho Womb 5" after pieces of his moldy war frame were found scattered throughout the galaxy.

His only true companion was his cuttlefish, though lost for a short period it returned to its true resting place, strategically placed over his loins.

According to interviews, Oderus's father was a supercomputer, and his mother was a petri dish.

During a reading of Goodnight Moon, Oderus revealed that he was born into a gladiatorial arena, during which time he was given a sword, and battled an onslaught of "slowtards" who were trying to rape him.

It is suggested in the lyrics of "Fire in the Loins" (from RagNaRok) that Slymenstra Hymen is his sister, but this is never fully explained.

Oderus Urungus was the only character to have existed throughout every incarnation of Gwar until his death, having started as a guitarist, then moving to bass, and finally lead vocals.

Like all of Gwar's characters, Oderus underwent several design changes since his inception.

He first started out as a relatively normal-looking character with a papier-mâché helmet with spikes that appeared to be made out of aluminum foil.

This eventually progressed into a rubber wig.

1988

The disfigured face remained relatively unchanged since 1988, with slight additions made in 2001 (the redesign of Oderus was in collaboration with the medieval violence-themed Violence Has Arrived album, released in November of that year) – two horns, roughly six or seven inches (178 mm) in length.

For the Beyond Hell album and tours both preceding and succeeding said album, Oderus's mask was once again redesigned.

It appeared more decayed and distorted than the previous masks, and there was exposed flesh on the forehead and the mask had a lighter color to it.

The beard was fuller and larger and had red and green highlights in it.

The most recent Oderus mask had longer horns and cheek bones that stood out more.

As the front man for the band, Dave Brockie was the most interviewed among the group, alternating between himself and Oderus Urungus.

All of Gwar's major television appearances included Dave portraying Oderus.

1990

David's older brother, Andrew, died from complications of AIDS in the early 1990s.

While born in Canada, at age 3 his parents emigrated to the United States.

David grew up in Fairfax, Virginia.

1994

These remained relatively unchanged (except for materials used) until 1994, when Brockie experimented with a new style - the left arm resembled a very mutated tentacle.

The change did not last, and by the year's end, the design returned to the World War I-era German helmet-shaped shoulder pads.

This version can be found in the "Saddam A Go-Go" video from the "Rendezvous With RagNaRok" movie.

2001

In 2001, after the filming of "It's Sleazy", Brockie redesigned the shoulder pads to feature two skulls with longer, more blade-shaped points.

2009

Oderus appeared semi-regularly on the late-night Fox News talk show Red Eye w/Greg Gutfeld as the Intergalactic Correspondent from July 8, 2009, to September 30, 2010.

2012

On April 3, 2012, the television sitcom Holliston had its world television premiere on the FEARnet cable television network.

Created by horror filmmaker Adam Green (Hatchet, Frozen), the series starred Dave Brockie in his "Oderus Urungus" character as series lead Adam Green's imaginary alien friend and guardian angel who lives in his closet.

In each episode, whenever "Adam" faced a personal problem, "Oderus" would come out of his closet and dish out advice that was both hilariously and terribly misguided, oftentimes causing "Adam" to have even worse problems.

A second season was green-lit the morning after the second episode had aired.

2014

Brockie died of a heroin overdose in 2014.

David Brockie was the younger of two adopted sons of William and Marion Brockie, both of whom were originally from the United Kingdom.
