Acid Mothers Temple on Tour

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.

btw, Psychic Paramount features two former members of the defunct Laddio Bolocko, and they used to have a diff drummer than the one I saw with them at this show. I got a CDR of theirs a while back from the same label that issued the LB 2-CD compilation, and it was pretty good.

the acid mothers show has been cancelled. some kind of visa problem.
sorry guys!

They were talking about their own in-store but it sounds like the whole tour is off? I tried going to acidmothers.com but it says 'no website is configured at this address'...

man, i revisited Born To Be Wild in the USA 2000 the other day, i love that semi-bootleg atmos-fug, what a mighty group in their prime (anyone heard the new configuration yet?)

Tix just bought - thanks Drew!

PS "Rainbow in Curved Air" live??! FUCK!

(somehow ended up $35 for two with 'service fees' though - fuckin' Ticketmaster!)

i used to book my college's independent music festival and i tried to get damo suzuki, but he also couldnt get across customs.
