Acid Mothers Temple

With OGOD (Over-Gain Optimal Death)

and Cock ESP

By David Gerhard

 

Acid Mothers Temple is a show that you must go to with nothing specific to look forward to. Except A once in a life time opportunity to have your mind Blown and your face “melted”. You don’t come to listen to your favorite song. You come to be hypnotized and left in a euphoric state of mind. joined by a hundred or so, we set out to find how deep the rabbit hole goes. Acid Mothers Temple appointed them selves as our tour guides.

Doors opened at 8:00 and the first “band” was scheduled to hit the stage at 9:30. With in that hour and a half, more questions where being asked about the Cock ESP and no one i talked to had any answers. A barely dressed girl walked up on stage and deafened the crowd with an vexatious war cry. She then began to trash the stage and man with a chicken mask began to attack her. From out of the corner a man dressed in S-n-M gear began to attack the crowd with objects i will refrain from discussing. I can promise you that they put on a 4 minute set that no one ever for get and many may never try to remember. The crowd though, seem to be enjoying the schizophrenic display of sexual instability and materialistic gratification. I on the other hand,couldn’t wait for it to be over. I especially couldn’t wait for what was to come latter on that night.

The basement party feeling was about to fill the crowd. With the inaudible vocals and instrumentals you can submerse your self into, put this band center stage to set the mood. This is what true acid rock is all about. A group of friend taking aim with instruments to create a state of mind with a psychedelic vision. This set was played by no other than, OGOD (Over-Gain Optimal Death. If this sounds like your cup of tea, I insist find, listen and I’ll see you next time around.

At 10:45 central time, I bared witness to a UFO crashing in to the 7th Street Entry. It was said to have come from the far reaches of the eastern world and came with one purpose and one purpose only. That which is to sped their way of life though music. These invaders are known by many names but to most they are knows only as Acid Mothers Temple. Grey Hair and instruments danced across the stage, as they led us in to an induced state of ecstasy. Acid Mothers Temple put on a show that I still can’t find the words to properly express the performance. When you prepare to attend their show, you mustn’t hope to hear a certain song because once the lights drop the slogan they live by shines bright. They do what ever they want with what ever instrument they want to do it with. This preplanned freedom made their over an hour set that much more unique. After the first few seconds your eye close, your head starts to bob, and your feet and hands find a mind of their own. Just as the crowd started to find themselves consumed in the beats, the show was over and they Were demanding more. Having total disregard for the time, an encore was set to begin. One song and seven minutes later the sobriety was force upon the crowd as they cheered and left the floor. How ever long this life style last them, i can tell you this, I’ll be there to support and get lost in the state of mind that only Acid Mothers Temple can create.
