Experience Post-Punk Pioneers Live with TicketPurchase.com

Performer Information

Friction tickets connect you with one of Tokyo’s most enduring underground forces. Formed in 1978, Friction helped shape Japan’s punk and post-punk movements with a raw, experimental edge that still resonates today. The band fuses punk aggression with angular, artful textures, drawing on both Western and Japanese underground influences.

Friction’s debut album, Replicant Walk (1980), is widely regarded as a cornerstone of Japanese post-punk, followed by essential releases like Skin Deep (1982), Live at "Ex Mattatoio" (1985), Dumb Numb (1990), Zone Tripper (1997), Deepers (2006), and Friction (2011). Their catalog showcases distorted guitars, driving basslines, and a blend of English and Japanese lyrics that built a devoted cult following.

Active for nearly five decades, Friction continues to deliver intense performances in clubs and small theaters — the spaces where their immersive sound and underground spirit shine. Led by founding member Reck on bass and vocals, the band’s live shows remain energetic, passionate, and deeply connected to fans.

Their impact continues to inspire generations across Japan’s alternative and indie communities.
