I'm going to see Acid Mothers Temple and the Melting
Paraiso U.F.O. for the 1st time tomorrow night at the
Knitting Factory in NYC. The show is on the
"ShortList" in the current Village Voice. Here's what
Chuck Eddy has to say about them:
Today's Japanese acid-rock revival is a droning ritual
of offhand eclecticism and eternal repetition a la
Germany 30 years ago; while guitar genius Kawabata
Makoto's traveling Nagoya commune might not match the
pastoral beauty of Ghost or Angel'in Heavy Syrup,
they're still the heavy legends of the bunch, and way
more pastorally beautiful than their inspirations Blue
Cheer or the Mothers of Invention ever were. If you'd
had a chance to see Amon Duul in 1970, you would've
gone, right?
There was a review of an AMT gig in the UK about 2 or
3 issues back in Mojo in which Kawabata was favorably
compared to Hendrix. Needless to say, I'm very
excited about this show, which cost me a grand total
of $11 including service charge. Is anyone else
going?

PS I just bought Mojo 100 last night, which has at
least 3 Neil references. Am I the only one, or are
other USA rusties not able to buy this as early each
month as they used to?
