Acid Mothers Temple and the Melting Paraiso U.F.O.
ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE IN CONCERT:With a trippy sound reminiscent of ‘60s psychedelia, Japanese collective Acid Mothers Temple has been rocking out and blowing minds since the mid-‘90s. The group’s focus on bewitching instrumentals with driving, trance-inducing repetition has won them a devoted worldwide following. Featuring Kawabata Makoto’s Hendrix-meets-Ravi-Shankar lead lines, Satoshima Nani’s propulsive drumming, Tsuyama Atsushi’s droning bass, Higashi Hiroshi’s fluttering synthesizers, and Tabata Mitsuru’s graceful guitar parts, the band’s massive live sound transports audiences into another dimension. Whether ticket buyers are looking for a free-form throwback to Woodstock or a space rock expedition to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, Acid Mothers Temple is probably the best way to get there.
