Legendary Psych Rock from Japan! The unstoppable Japanese quintet Acid Mothers Temple brings their legendary, boundary-pushing psychedelic space-rock odyssey to our stage. Known for highly hypnotic and intensely loud improvisational journeys, the band seamlessly bridges the gap between 1960s acid-rock devotion, driving krautrock rhythms, and modern avant-garde noise. Led by guitarist Makoto Kawabata, their music often shifts from tranquil, cosmic chants to frantic, atonal instrumental frenzies that are both experimental and deeply spiritual.
