Guitar Wolf, 90

Euro Tour 2024 presented by Rockin’ Dogs, Arena Wien – Dreiraum, Austria 20241105

Finally it is getting colder this November, as Arena is calling again. The Beisl first provides the opportunity, to have a drink, before Dreiraum opens as well. Between the two, the place has new lights. Changing site, earplugs can be useful at the venue, where Anderwelt and Diamond Skull are presented by Electric Fire Records on Friday. 

Support this night comes from the local Garage Noise Rock three-piece 90. Back in 2021, they shared the stage with Empty Wallet and The Dead Wallstreeters at Coco Bar. Now Manuel, former EWATDW and Far From Autumn member, kicks the bass in 90 and shares a joke between the songs. Both guitarists wear jackets, when singing about „Religion“, dedicating „Bourgeoisie“ to Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx or telling „Secondhand Lies“. Their show has a lot of energy, and close to its end, they change their screams to German. 

The reputation of the next band precedes them: Guitar Wolf from Japan exist since 1987, play LoFi Trash Noise Garage Punk or Jet Rock’n’Roll how they put it, and even released a splatter movie „Wild Zero“. They know the Dreiraum already as well as the Chelsea. And now ‚The Wolf Is Back In Europe‘, and their tour will take them further to Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia. 

While 90 put a sticker as backdrop, Guitar Wolf have the animal with a guitar neck in its mouth on a banner. The crowd is patiently waiting as the Ramones come from the speakers, the band empties a beer and then starts the show. And so the raw energy continues, with both guitarists going to crowdsurf and the people dancing. 

At a point, Salamirecorder joins on stage and Guitar Wolf don’t miss the opportunity, to play several encores, telling ‚we teach you how to love‘. Before „Fujiyama Attack“, they learn about the Grossglockner and with a solo performance of „I Love You, OK“ ends a big fun Rock’n’Roll evening.
