Night Of The Wolf
Japanese power trio Guitar Wolf has been around for more than a decade now, but some Americans are still just catching on. Lucky for them, the band is touring the States this year on a cross-country trek beginning February 25 in Philadelphia.
They’ll stay on the road through late March, with 18 stops scheduled across the U.S. and in Canada in support of their new album, Love Rock.
The band – comprising Seiji (Guitarwolf), Billy (Basswolf), and Toru (Drumwolf) – got its start in the late ’80s, though their first proper album wasn’t released until 1993. Their live shows are raucous affairs, complete with random guest guitarists and multiple encores.
Love Rock, the group’s eighth studio effort, was released in the U.S. on Narnack Records last July. In October, the New York label re-released the band’s 2000 disc, Rock ‘N’ Roll Etiquette.
