Young Makoto?

These guys have so much energy.

lol wtf they're playing in my town this Autumn?!?

I've never actually listened to this band, where do I start because tbh good live experiences are pretty hard to come by in this place so I'm probably going to go to this

i'm sure people will have plenty of recs but honestly they put on a great show that's not really contingent on knowing anything about their music. basically just be up for some heavy psych jams and you're good to go.

I am def up for some heavy psych jams, I know they are known for that, so I'm probably definitely going anyway, but I'd like to listen to something first if I get around to it

saw them many years ago, they ripped hard

I love seeing them live, I almost never listen to them outside that context. The music is good, but the experience of the live show is really the AMT thing.

otm

My pick of the albums I've heard is the first one, but La Novia and In C I think are the big favorites from others. They will play Pink Lady Lemonade and it will sound amazing. Last time I saw them they played this:

(Studio version is a little more sedate than I remember; rest assured, it was a total face-ripper live)

i've never listened to any of their records- they come here once a year, every april, and i'm always there. definitely go

dude Acid Mothers Temple is the best live band ever you should absolutely go. bring earplugs if you want to be able to hear anything ever again.

I’ve probably been to like 5 gigs in my 30s so far and amt was one of them, they ruled

I like absolufely freak out your mind (title?)
Cool art too

Got my ticket. Thanks for tip about earplugs, I may do that, I have pretty bad tinnitus these days that isn't going away.

definitely bring the earplugs, seconded

their shows are so awesome, glad to be reminded of it, and imagining them roadtripping around basically the entire world putting them on constantly is an inspiring image.

POO = IAO Chant From The Melting Paraiso UFO

hopefully seeing these loons next weekend

Awesome!

oh my god guys

You saw them? If so did your face get melted off?
Every song is ripe for a 15 minute Jam

every song felt like an hour-long jam, somehow they got half a dozen of these into 50 minutes or so. a lot of the stuff was built up slowly layer on layer, one song in partic had a really long drummer/bassist riff at the beginning before the rest of the band gradually piled in until it reached peak freak out

About right!

Maybe not the greatest gig of my life but top 5 easily. They seemed to enjoy it too. And it was a mid afternoon festival second stage, decent crows but quiet enough for me to be right up front.

I think amt + baking hot summer day at a festival is a perfect thing but also possibly just a hair’s breath away from oh my god i’m having a brain haemorrhage territory
