Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O.

Acid Mothers Temple, a Japanese psychedelic collective formed in 1995 and led by Kawabata Makoto, performs in Madrid alongside The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. at the Moby Dick venue.

Acid Mothers Temple was formed in 1995, led by Kawabata Makoto, as a multidisciplinary collective in which musicians, dancers and visual artists coexisted. What unites its members is the practice of improvised music, and since then the group has continually transformed its sound without tying itself to a fixed formula.

Its discography spans more than two decades and brings together over a hundred releases, both solo and collective. It ranges from folk with psychedelic touches to minimalist composition. It is regarded as one of the leading references of Japanese psychedelia, along the same lines as Les Rallizes Denudes, High Rise or White Heaven, and its approach has been compared with that of the Sun Ra Arkestra.

This concert brings together Acid Mothers Temple and The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. The Moby Dick Madrid venue, on Avenida de Brasil, mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts.
