Finally Acid Mothers Temple is Back!
For those that don’t know, Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. are a psychedelic band that enjoy immense popularity outside Japan, selling out a concert at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall last year. For their one and only live appearance this year they will be playing at their homebase of Tokuzo in Nagoya. Next year they plan to resume touring overseas, so this gig will be in every sense an opening skirmish. The group are also planning to tour Europe next year as Acid Mothers Gong, a joint venture with Daevid Allen’s Gong. AMT’s overseas concerts have seen them named as one of the best live bands in the world. Don’t miss this rare chance to see them in action in Japan!

- Tsuyama Atsushi will be hosting his time-honored auction!

* FOR THOSE PLANNING TO TRAVEL FROM FURTHER AFIELD
The gig will end by 22:00, because of noise limitation ordinances. Since the last Nozomi bullet train for Tokyo departs Nagoya Station at 22:10, those who wish to travel home that night should instead catch the night bus for Shinjuku which leaves at 23:00 from Nagoya Station.
For those travelling from Osaka, the last Hikari bullet train leaves Nagoya at 22:42 and the last Nozomi at 22:57. You will have adequate time to catch either one of these.
There are numerous cheap hotels both around Tokuzo and around the Nagoya Station area. However, since the gig wil be on a weekend it would be advisable to make a booking in advance.
Tokuzo will be open as a bar until 05:00 so it will also be possible to spend the night drinking there and then catch the first train home in the morning. There are many other drinking establishments near Tokuzo that stay open all night.
