Oh God! *That* band! I've seen them on TV while in Japan and I never knew their name. Are THEY called Bass Wolf?

Drew:

No not Kishidan, the person who was the bass player for the band Guitar Wolf died of a heart attack 2 days ago in Tokyo.

Very sad. Great band, along with the King Brothers, pushing garage over the noise edge. Sublime in every sense.

Oh shit, how clueless of me, that sucks. I like Guitar Wolf, and my brother, who lives in Japan, LOVES them. Bummer. So the band in the picture above my post is called Kishidan? thanks.

I last saw him in Tokyo, he didn't bother to tune his guitar which went out of wack during the first song... so about 30 minutes later after 20 "1-2-3" punk rock numbers his guitar seemingly channeling some early sonic youth guitar mess with about 3 strings remaining.... yeah so he leaves his guitar facedown on the stage, feeding back, and climbs to the top of his marshall stacks. he teeters around at the top, taunting the frenzied crowd and then JUMPS in the air and lands feet first on the guitar which causes sparks to fly out of the PA monitors. he tries to get up and his ankle is wrecked. but he gets up anyway and limps COOL-LY offstage... then comes back and does an encore... guitar still totally damaged.
When they played a bar in SF a while back they blew TWO PAs that night and blew up a bass amp.
