Acid Mothers Temple & Sonic Suicide Squad - 2009 Tour Dates

by Andrew Frisicano

Acid Mothers Temple

Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. - "A freak-out group for the 21st century founded in 1996 by members of the Acid Mothers Temple soul-collective. Led by Kawabata Makoto (Musica Transonic. Toho Sara, etc.)" That far-reaching definition, from AMT's website, is about as close a definition can come to accurately encompassing guitarist Makoto and Co.'s 15+ year Japanese psych-rock masterwork.

AMT & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. visit North America for a monthlong tour this April. That includes a stop at NYC's Mercury Lounge on Friday, April 17th with Sonic Suicide Squad and Floating Action. (Tickets are on sale now.)

Already known for their massive discography, the band will bring with it three new discs on three labels. The first is Lord of the Underground : Vishnu and the Magic Elixir, out May 5th on Alien8 Recordings. Then comes Are We Experimental? out via Prophase Music on June 2nd. Finally, Dark Side Of The Black Moon : What Planet Are We On? out on Important Records (at some point...if not already).

Silver Apples will join AMT for its tour kick-off in LA, and are playing at the Ponderosa Stomp Revue at SXSW on Friday, March 20th. Ponderosa will host a series of Lincoln Center dates this summer.
