Acid Mothers Temple on Tour

Subarachnoid Space were boring as fuck. Must have been great for bar sales. It didn't help that the bass player wore a Grateful Dead T - unironically!

AMT were great of course, but by the end I couldn't take any more. Did they do an encore?

Probably -- I have that around somewhere, must dig it out again.

I was there too.

It was a night for ILX! Not only myself and Elvis T. and Matt Maxwell and you, but Vahid and then famous athlete, who came up to me and asked "Are you Ned Raggett from I Love Music?" I was completely flustered! And I was talking to Mario from Earthless at the time and he probably wondered what the fuck was going on!

Favorite band were Earthless, actually. Why haven't I heard of them before?

Hell, I've been on the Rocket list forever (in that Mario from Earthless is the same Mario in Rocket and formerly with Clikitat Ikatowi) and I only just heard of them the other day -- now I have a fave new band! Emusic.com has the show from last night available -- they have some sorta Clear Channel deal with the Casbah -- while the CDR the band were selling is from a show there earlier in the year, I'm listening to it now. Three tracks, the first is a touch slower than what they played yesterday but still great -- however, they are DEFINITELY a live band, they've got that sheer room-filling explosive feeling down.

Subarachnoid miss Mason Jones a bit, I think. No encore as such from AMT -- just two goddamn hours of noise and wackiness.

Earthless
Earth

I AM GETTING ILX CREW HIGH BEFORE THEY PLAY, GUARANTEED.

long live!

JON, ACID IS HARD TO FIND.

John, in case you haven't heard, the show has been moved from the Echo Lounge to the EARL (just up the street) and it's now a 21+ show.

I will most likely.. hmm yellow heavy metal karaoke t-shirt - not because its cool..but because its all thats clean

emmacleveland was there! I din't know there was other ilx0rs in my area!

j0hn--i was in jeans and a dark teeshirt. and i was swaying and headbanging in the front.
i hope you were either the hacidic jew or the man in tapered leg jordaches and a fannypack!

amt in baltimore ruled. does anybody know anything about the song that tsuyama (bassist) introduced as "a new song"? it had yodeling and was UNBELIEVABLE.

oh I know! the people I was hangin' out with wanted to see the decemberists, and we left after two songs. (the long winters were really good though. just not as completely insanely mindblowing as AMT, who had one song that started in 4/4, shifted into 5/4 very subtly, then to 6/4, then back into 5/4...it made me woozy and punchy and delighted)

He was switching grips in the show in Denton, but yeah, he seemed really old school. There's something awesome about a stone-faced drummer with a crew cut playing with AMT.

if only the third one had been master of reality, it would have actually been the best concert of all time.

psychic paramount was good, too. their last song was close enough to sabbath, real drony over a super-heavy riff. its just tough to remember that the first two bands were pretty good when AMT were just so incredible. EACH of those guys is amazing at their instruments. theyre so individually good, that the really amazing thing i think is how well they gel. kawabata did this thing where, at the end of a song, he hung his feedingback guitar on one of the overhead speakers and left. right before he did that was just the most blistering 5 minutes of guitar attack ive ever heard or seen. all of a sudden, shred made sense to me, but this guy wasnt just shredding...

anyway, suffice it to say - i was a fan before, but now im hooked.
