Acid Mothers Temple

Formed in 1995 by Makoto Kawabata at the same time as the Acid Mothers Temple SoulCollective. The group released its debut album in 1997 on PSF Records (Japan), and it was selected as one of the year's best albums in The Wire magazine (UK). In 1998, the group played their first tours of the US and Europe. Since then, the group has released a huge number of albums on labels from many different countries. As of 2017, the group has released around 80 albums.

Every year since 1998, they have toured extensively in the US and Europe, and more recently, they have started performing around Asia and in Japan too. The group has performed in collaboration with many musicians including psychedelic originators Gong and Guru Guru, Simeon (Silver Apples), Nik Turner (Hawkwind), and the Occitanian trad singer Rosina de Peira. Japanese collaborators have included Afrirampo, Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins), Maso Yamazaki (Masonna), Seiichi Yamamoto (Boredoms), Jun Kuriyama (The Ox), and many others.

During the pandemic, they launched their official Bandcamp, have released more than 60 albums (including many unreleased materials), and toured in Japan each year. They played the streaming festival Levitation Sessions, organized Acid Mothers Olympic 2021 against Tokyo Olympics 2021, and originated and played a new style of music sports. Finally, the group went on their first European tour in Autumn 2022 and North American tour in Spring and Autumn 2023 after the pandemic. In 2024, the group will tour in Europe in Spring and North America in Autumn.
