Guitar Wolf destroyed me with everlasting high energy punk rock last night...and it was absolutely worth it! Japanese Punk Rock from that era has always been a favorite of mine, and to actually get to see one of those legendary bands perform in person was absolutely amazing.
Also, those guys are like 20 years older than me but still had more energy than half the audience there after a full set and two encore performances!
Multiple moments of crowdsurfing occurred wherein i had the privilege to touch Japanese rock legend butts!
They pulled an older lady up on stage at one point and just handed her a guitar....and through the power of rock inspired her to open up and jump around stage rocking out with them on the guitar!
Basically, if you get the chance go see them while they're touring the US because it was absolutely brilliant.
#art#history: she was my britney spears - &, in spite of her sneers, her arrests for obscenity & her nipple-taped bravado, wendy o williams (born #otd in 1949) was a remarkably sensitive, intelligent & brave individual. once she'd had enough of the plasmatics theatrics, long-term #vegetarian, wendy, made haste to connecticut to work in animal rescue & rehab. that's also where, in 1998, she left us: on her own terms, world-weary, with dignity. #wendyOWilliams#plasmatics#illustration#punk#sXe
