Acid Mothers Temple at the Milwaukee Psych Fest on April 13, 2019

After sharing my recording of Acid Mothers Temple at last year's Psych Fest, I realized that I still had not yet shared my recording of these Japanese psych rock veterans at the 2019 Psych Fest.

This performance was the culmination of another brilliant festival programmed by Andrew Shelp. Although small in square feet, this festival has the right to be considered one of the highest quality music festivals in the country. The number of bands I have discovered at this festival is almost unbelievable to me.

Acid Mothers Temple at the Milwaukee Psych Fest on May 5, 2023

Acid Mothers Temple returned to the Milwaukee Psych Festival this past May and shook the earth with their energetic sound. 

This Japanese psychedelic rock band that has been extremely active since its formation in 1995. Uncountable releases and near-constant touring are their hallmarks. Led by guitarist and visionary Kawabata Makoto, Acid Mothers Temple has become synonymous with experimental, improvisational, and avant-garde music.

At the heart of Acid Mothers Temple's sound is a fusion of various genres, including psychedelic rock, space rock, noise, and free jazz. The band's compositions eschew traditional song formats in favor of a more free-flowing and spontaneous approach. Over the years, Kawabata Makoto has collaborated with a large cast of musicians, bringing in fresh perspectives.
