About this event
What this is
Gary Lucas is a legendary American guitarist best known as a founding member of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band and for co-writing two of Jeff Buckley's most celebrated songs, 'Grace' and 'Mojo Pin.' Gods and Monsters is his long-running avant-garde rock ensemble, which blends blues, psychedelia, world music, and experimental noise into a singular and unpredictable live experience. Lucas has collaborated with an extraordinary range of artists over his career and is widely regarded as one of the most inventive guitarists of his generation. This Tokyo appearance, presented by Tom's Cabin, brings a rare opportunity to see a genuine cult figure of American alternative music perform in an intimate club setting.

Good to know
Tickets are handled via Tom's Cabin (toms-cabin.com) and likely also through eplus.jp or pia.jp — both major platforms accept foreign credit cards, and Lawson convenience store pickup (combini) is the easiest collection method for visitors without a Japanese address. Club Quattro Shibuya is located on the upper floors of the Parco building in Shibuya and holds approximately 800 people; it is primarily a standing venue with limited seating at the rear. The venue has a bar and a relaxed, music-focused atmosphere typical of Tokyo's mid-size live houses. Bags are generally not checked at the door but large items may be asked to be stored. Cash is recommended for drinks and merchandise at the venue, though card acceptance has been improving at Club Quattro in recent years.
