Friday Afternoon Diversion II: Visit Temple This Weekend

By Johnny Loftus in Arts & Entertainment on Apr 10, 2009 9:01PM

In true Easter weekend diversion news, Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso UFO hits the Empty Bottle Saturday night. This incarnation of the long-running Japanese psych/prog/experimental "soul collective" includes Acid Mothers founder and spiritual leader Kawabata Makato and tends toward freeform freakouts of the monolithic, 1970s moustache variety, blended of course with sci-fi ray gun keyboards and a hundred sudden left turns. Or, as the AMT & TMP UFO Web site puts it (creative spelling intact), "What you are going to experience is ass kickin' bud whippin' far out drop dead cool music from another solar system when the acient gods still rurled the Earth."

Put that in your chocolate bunny bong and smoke it.

Empty Bottle, April 11, 10 p.m., $13, 21+
