The cosmic psychedelia of the Japanese space rock collective around guitarist Kawabata Makota returns to Prague after seven years ★
Acid Mothers Temple are constantly on the move. Since its formation in the mid-nineties, the now cult band has managed to release over a hundred albums, a whole series of EPs and recordings from the endless tours it embarks on every year. The community group of musicians briefly and aptly calls their transcendental music creation, which mixes kaleidoscopic jams, hypnotizing riffs and eclectic freak-out improvisations with cyclical rhythms and otherworldly synthesizer surfaces, with the words 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜.
As part of the upcoming European tour, AMT will also stop in Prague again, this time playing in Smíchovská MeetFactory.
"The immersive trip has that ability to entrance and seduce. You never want it to end. There is an element of surrealism when Kawabata raises his guitar theatrically before passing it around the crowd. […] The truth is AMT can't really be appreciated at home. You need to be there." — Test Pressing

Olaf Olafsonn and the Big Bad Trip, an instrumental fixture of the Czech psychedelic scene, will be the opening act. Although the basis of their sound is undoubtedly rock psychedelia, in the last decade they have been making exploratory journeys into other genres, from jazz to folk to black metal. They are known for their energetic performances in mysterious masks, emphasis on the visual and collaborations with foreign bands such as the Greek 1000mods or Their Methlab, the American Valley of the Sun, the Norwegian Devil and the Almighty Blues, the Austrian Der Blutharsch and the Infinite Church of the Leading Hand, the Polish Bön and others.
After two acoustic albums in 2021, the group enriched by a pianist and a new drummer returns to the electronic sound. In the new lineup, they recorded the album Soul Retrieval, which was released in October 2024. They are currently preparing a new album, My Spirit Animal, which will be released in 2026.

The cosmic psychedelia of Japanese space-rock pioneers Acid Mothers Temple, the group around guitarist Kawabata Makoto, returns to Prague after seven years ★
Acid Mothers Temple are constantly in motion. Since their formation in 1995, the now legendary band has managed to release over a hundred albums, a string of EPs and live recordings from their never-ending tours. The shapeshifting collective describes their transcendental music – which blends kaleidoscopic jams, hypnotic riffs and freak-out improv with cyclical rhythms and spacey synths – aptly as trip music.
As part of their upcoming European tour, AMT will once again stop in Prague, this time bringing their eclectic live show to MeetFactory.

Opening the night will be Olaf Olafsonn and the Big Bad Trip, an instrumental mainstay of the Czech psychedelic scene. While the bedrock of their sound is undeniably rock psychedelia, the past decade has seen them venture into other genres – from jazz and folk to black metal. They are known for their high-energy performances in enigmatic masks, a strong emphasis on visual presentation, and collaborations with international acts including Greek outfit 1000mods and Their Methlab, American band Valley of the Sun, Norwegian outfit Devil and the Almighty Blues, Austrian project Der Blutharsch and the Infinite Church of the Leading Hand, Polish band Bön, and others.
Following two acoustic albums in 2021, the group, now expanded with a pianist and a new drummer, returns to electronic territory. In the new lineup, OOBBT recorded Soul Retrieval, released in October 2024, and they are currently working on a new album, My Spirit Animal, coming in 2026.
