Acid Mothers Temple Are Coming For Your Children
Here’s some raw footage I shot of a recent Acid Mothers Temple show in Austin, Texas. If you’re unfamiliar with the band, this video is a good introduction. A Japanese “soul collective” who’ve been together, in various forms, since 1995, the Mothers fuse psychedelia, Krautrock and white noise with throat singing vocals into a singular sound that is aggressive and beautiful. Their song titles and album covers pay homage to Zappa, The Beatles, Hendrix, and Fillmore poster art combined with their own day-glo Zen Buddhist spin. While they derive much inspiration from hippie iconography and attitude, they are unlike any band I’ve experienced - hardcore and mystical.
