JAPAN'S GREATEST 'JET ROCK'N'ROLL' BAND RETURN TO AUSTRALIA
"There are garage-rock bands, and then there’s Tokyo terrors Guitar Wolf. Your typical garage band might make your ears ring; this one kills zombies." - Pitchfork
Since forming in 1987 and releasing their first album on Memphis's legendary Goner Records in 1993, the group, fronted by the heroic Seiji and always clothed head to toe in black leather, have taken their wild and dangerous sound to the world, working with labels like Matador and Third Man in the process. They have released 12 albums and are signed to a major label at home in Japan. They first toured Australia in the late '90s, when Seiji rode on to the stage of a packed Tote on the back of a borrowed motorcycle..
Inspired by the ultra-violent records of '50s guitar wielding maniac Link Wray as well as motorcycles, the Ramones, Johnny Thunders, the Cramps and Joan Jett. Guitar Wolf are movie stars themselves too, having starred in the low budget sci-fi horror movie Wild Zero in 1999, a sequel to which they announced last year.
Despite a number of line-up changes, Guitar Wolf are founded on a singular vision and continue to push forward just as they remain the same. Picture a lone rider pushing through an unending tide of fashion-conscious conformists - that's what Guitar Wolf are like.
As they state in their Official Bio on their website, Guitar Wolf "single-mindedly pursu(e) an unchanging style and radiat(e) power that transcends time and space."
Guitar Wolf will be supported on the night by Antenna and The Crankees.
