ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE in their first return to Manchester's Night & Day since 2012.
Formed in Japan in 1995 by Makoto Kawabata, the previously described 'noise-freaks-turned-millennial-hippies' have since released around 80 albums, representing one of the most daunting discographies in contemporary music. The effervescent psych prog masters have also toured extensively, performing years of head-melting psychedelia at more than 100 yearly shows around America and Europe, including at the Glastonbury Festival. Immensely prolific in the studio and controlledly chaotic live, ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE's every musical gesture seems so amplified or exaggerated as though they are 'cosmic troubadours' intending their work to be witnessed from across the solar system. Specialising in "trip" music, a meltdown of entire genres and movements all reimagined in a 'freak out' form, quite possibly fitting to liquefy your consciousness. Pure and visceral and, as their numerous worldwide fans would attest, simply one of the greatest live band experiences out there.

"In a non-stop stream of thrilling noise, ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE segue from supercharged stomp-rock, through doomy choral chanting and frazzled go-go, to a thundering melee of atonal freakouts. Then on to a pulsating, echo-drenched disco-rock groove, which morphs into a motorik rhythm too rapid even for the autobahn, works itself into a squalling frenzy, breaks cover as a kind of galloping, syncopated, Underworld-with-rabies affair, and flows into a long, chiming trance number climaxing in a collective instrumental howl." ~The Guardian
