Guitar Wolf
with Hans Condor and CELICA
at 7th St Entry
first-avenue.com
The World’s coolest band Guitar Wolf is back in the USA. The Japanese band is touring in support of LOVE&JETT (Third Man Records), their 13th album. The new album is the first to feature Bass Wolf (IV), Gotz, who joined the band in 2018.
We have heard LOVE&JETT in May 2019: “Their thirteenth and most recent release is this year’s LOVE&JETT (Guitarwolf Records, issued by Third Man) and the band started their forty-five minute set (all dressed in head-to-toe black leather, no matter the temperature) with Seiji and Gotz each chugging a beer quickly to get started, with a small mosh pit quickly forming near the left side of the stage. Their music is snarling, fast, and unapologetic, (for example, the new record is 10 songs over just 26 minutes) getting fans frothing early with the new, ‘Sex Jaguar’ and with Seiji pointing to the sky during 2002’s ‘UFO Romantics’, it wouldn’t have been the least surprising to have something come down and beam them up. New bassist Gotz proved as frantic as his predecessors, half swallowing his mic and diving head first into the pit area, to be surfed about, and the title track of the new album, anchored by a fast Tōru bass drum was played late in the set, before one last flash leveled anyone in the crowd whose mouth was not already agape.”
What’s more exciting is that this upcoming North American tour will debut the trio’s new Drum Wolf, Takuro.
Also note, Guitar Wolf also promoting a Kickstarter for Wild Zero II, a film starring Guitar Wolf, of course. As you know, we love the original film, and even got the band to autograph the Synapse DVD when we saw the band nearly a decade ago.
Introduction via Kickstarter: “Together let's make Wild Zero 2, packed with zombies, UFOs, rock 'n' roll, motorcycles, explosions, retro special effects, and love! Let's rock 'n' roll and shatter the tired, cookie cutter world of cinema! This is project aims to raise funds for the production of the sequel to the classic zombie movie Wild Zero, featuring Japanese, Jet Rock'n Roll trio, Guitar Wolf.”

The Longest Johns
with Seán Dagher, voice of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag
at Fine Line
first-avenue.com
Bristol’s The Longest Johns (Andy Yates, Jonathan "JD" Darley, and Robbie Sattin), famous for their version of “Wellerman”, will be headlining the Fine Line, in Minneapolis, on May 20, 2024.
We did catch Longest Johns in Mar 2022 and wrote, “The Longest Johns has some of the most diverse fanbase, from very old fans to the youngest fan (a 10 year old boy with his dad) to teenagers. The dancefloor was completely packed. While the group had a drummer and guitarist, the most important instruments seems to be their vocals, which Andy Yates, Dave Robinson, Jonathan "JD" Darley, and Robbie Sattin were happy to display for us.”
Seán Dagher (billed as “voice of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag”) to open. As you know, I’m a big fan of Assassin’s Creed games. Thumbs up from the Weekend Gamer.

We originally announced Gregorian to play in October 2023, but the show was rescheduled to May 20, 2024. Unfortunately, this date is a very busy date.

UPDATE: Gregorian: Pure Chants Tour at The Fitzgerald Theater on November 2, 2023 has been rescheduled and will now take place on May 20, 2024. All tickets purchased for the original show will be honored.
Those famous Gregorian Monks (or simply Gregorian) are on their very first American tour! It’s unbelievable that over 20 years and with million of fans, that they’ve never toured here.
“The World’s Most Successful Choir” has a new album Pure Chants, that just came out on BMG.
I wrote about the Gregorian Monks in May 2007: “How funny is this: Gregorian Monks singing "Losing My Religion" - oh the irony! First of all, this particular band (simply Gregorian) are not real monks, but a couple of guys from Germany, who transform modern pop music to Gregorian chant-style singing. They spawned quite a few copycat chant-style groups, so just be aware of which albums they've release.”
