Infamous space rock and psychedelic masters Acid Mothers Temple return to the Empty Bottle in April. 

Collective led by Kawabata Makoto. There are currently around 30 members, famous and unknown, musicians, artist, dancers, farmers etc. In order to follow and document their multifarious activities, in 1998 the ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE family record label was set up. THE ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. group is just one part of collective’s activities. A motto to live by, THE ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE slogan reads “Do Whatever You Want, Don’t Do Whatever You Don’t Want!!”. Relish in transcendental glory with these sonic healers as they guide the mind, body and soul through psychedelia and ancient folk. There’s a whole world contained within YAMANTAKA // SONIC TITAN. They’re a Noh-Wave prog collective, a black-and-white (and sometimes red) theatre company, an operatic psych cult, and the speculative prophets of humanity’s impending doom. Live, the band can be sprawling and theatrical or concise and visceral, filling the stage with noise, melody and cacophony. Above it all, though, they’re a thunderous rock band, and on their third album, DIRT, they’re the heaviest they’ve ever been.
