Describing their music as “jet rock 'n' roll,” Guitar Wolf have been ripping up stages across the globe since 1987. Throughout their career, Guitar Wolf have released 12 studio albums, with their most recent being 2019s Love & Jett.

First touring Australia in the late ‘90s, the band’s debut gig at the Tote has gone down in history as one of the venue’s greatest, with Guitar Wolf’s guitarist and lead vocalist Seiji riding on stage on the back of a motorcycle.

The current lineup of Seiji, bassist Gotz and drummer Takuro have been together since 2022, with the band’s goal to “single-mindedly pursu(e) an unchanging style and radiat(e) power that transcends time and space.”

Catch Guitar Wolf at Crown and Anchor on Thursday, April 3. Tickets on sale now via Moshtix.
