NEW YORK – ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE

Tonight Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O. is playing at the Mercury Lounge, which is admittedly a really shitty venue but what are you going to do? For those of you unfamiliar with AMT and their contributions to the world of Japanese trip music, there might be enough time for you to make it through founding guitarist and speed guru Kawabata Makoto’s 80-question FAQ before showtime. If not, you can at least enjoy this video of Kawabata and AMT’s regular bassist playing in San Francisco a couple years ago with the yodeling drummer from Ruins as Acid Mothers Temple SWR, which is a show we would have officiallly “gone ape” for.
