The last time notorious Japanese out-rockers Acid Mothers Temple visited Buffalo, the group’s two hour set of cosmic jams, stoner freak-outs and joyous noise excursions concluded with leader Kawabata Makoto smashing his guitar against a backdrop of flashing psychedelic weirdness. The act was not flaccid nostalgia, but a moment of pure cosmic abandon, the only path out of such an ecstatic set. To be sure, AMT are unapologetic students of psychedelic cult rock, conjuring Black Sabbath heaviness, Zappa prog weirdness, Kraut rock space jams and surrealist visual imagery, but the effect is totally inspired and new. This Wednesday (May 2), at 9pm, Kawabata and his constantly morphing soul collective return to Soundlab for another “underground freak out,” this time including female vocalist Kitagawa Hao, whose ethereal vocals carry the group’s music even deeper into the cosmic unknown.
