Guitar Wolf New Zealand Tour Supports Announced

Japan's legendary Guitar Wolf are bringing the life-affirming power of JET ROCK & ROLL to a stage near you this coming March, and have just announced local special guests for every single show. Traveling the length and breadth of Aotearoa with a whopping eleven headline dates lined up — many of which are all-ages — lurking amidst the pileup of excellent supports is a Nothing at All! Tribute (an homage to the trailblazing '90s North Shore punks) and very intriguing, possibly related D-light4ul special guests at Tāmaki Makaurau's Whammy Bar, with Transistors (new album out this Friday) and Crying Ivy. One of the greatest garage-punk groups of this or any era, you might well be exhibiting chump-like qualities if you miss Guitar Wolf tearing it up nationwide at the following dates. Tickets are moving at lightning speed, time to hoof it...

"Tokyo masters of rock&roll mayhem. 30 years young & the foot ain’t ever come off that car crash accelerator pedal. Still swerving, dead man curving, burnin’ out & danger driftin’. Link Wray overdriven guitar rumble fuzz & feedback, Joan Jett warm leatherette aesthetic obsession, locomotive rockabilly rhythms & early Ramones punk chunk thump. Noise, hiss & drone co-opted from fellow Japanese sound assault merchants High Rise & Mainliner. It’s a sonic rendezvous designed to cave in heads & destroy frequencies, while yr dancing yr ass off on that road to oblivion…" — Mr Slackjaw
