Japanese rock band Acid Mothers Temple was founded 30 years ago by guitarist Kawabata Makoto with a very particular aim in mind. “I had never been fully satisfied with the trippy psychedelic records I’d listened to,” says Makoto, “and that’s when I began wanting to create a really extreme trip music.” 


Makoto has certainly fulfilled his ambition, with AMT having pumped out a staggering 100-plus studio albums of entertainingly deranged and utterly head-melting music. 

They are stopping off at the Hare & Hounds this month with latest and magnificently named show Dark Within Of Astropia.
