Tonight, Japanese garage punk trio Guitar Wolf come to Siberia. The show is our featured “Plan A” concert in the June issue.

In the story, Alex Cook fondly recalled that, “The only time I thought I was in the presence of superheroes was in the late ’90s at a Guitar Wolf show. The trio appeared suddenly on stage with a thunderclap coming from Drum Wolf on the risers. The late Bass Wolf stood stage left, sneering over a low, diesel-powered throb generated by his instrument while Guitar Wolf, half-man, half-manifestation of rock ‘n’ roll, crouched with his leather-clad back to the audience, combing his thick greaser locks with a switchblade comb.”

Here’s their video for “Kenka Rock” from the 2007 Dead Rock album. Cheap Time, King Louie’s Missing Monuments, and Hans Condor open tonight’s show at 10 p.m. Tickets are $13.
