    I dig Goat a lot. I like their psych sound over the afrobeat attempt though. It's good stuff though.

    TInariwen can be good live. I've always wanted to see Acid Mothers Temple live, I heard their shows are insane.

    King Khan and BBQ? They are about as psychedelic as a glass of iced tea.

    YES!! Dude, I heard about GOAT playing.. I've been so excited about that album & the song GOATMAN which blew me away.. Almost has this dark Funkadelic feel to it.



    I'd love to see these guys live.

    b/w

    What is up with all these killer Swedish bands these days?

    Someone mentioned GOAT on the album of the year thread, hadnt come across them before. Its a very good album. Used to listen to Deerhunter a lot about 6-7 years ago.

    5 bands with Black in their name.

    Black=psych these days I guess.

    I would love to start a black psych band.. I've already even thought up a name.. NEGROS MUTANTES.

    I'm thinking of Riding my motorcycle to this Austin Psychfest. Any strutters want to meet up?

    World Music was my pick for album of 2012. Amazing stuff, like the Lijadu sisters gone psych.

    Get it while you can. The OG Euro pressings were hoovered up pretty quickly.

    Here's some live vids. 2nd one is 22 minutes long with bad sound but gives a good idea of the show.

    "Goatman" and "Goathead" are heavy tunes, love 'em. Aggy psychfunk with throaty amazon vocals. Haven't bought the album because those are the two tracks I keep returning to. The rest of the album doesn't hit me quite as hard. When the "Goatman" 45 came out about a year ago I kept saying to myself "I'll order it next week" and when I finally got myself around to it, it was sold out and collectible. Damn it.

    Black Rebel Motorcycle Club sound like biker-rock meets Jesus & Mary Chain (or they did at one point). The father of one of them was in The Call
    The Black Angels did some shit with UNKLE, iirc, but I've never heard them on their own.
    Tinariwen are a kind of Tuareg afro-blues-trance outfit from the Malian desert.
    Clinic are from Liverpool, and are sort of garagey neo-psych. Their gimmick used to be wearing surgical gowns and masks onstage. I dunno if they still do this.
    I think Acid Mothers Temple are Japanese and have some sort of affiliation with The Boredoms but I'm not certain.

    That's about all the help I can give you.

    They're definitely Japanese, they're only tangentially related to the Boredoms, and they have a bazillion releases over a 17 year history. Kind of hard to avoid if you're into psych in any real way.

    It's hard to tell what AMT you are going to get at any given performance...either ash ra temple-esque skullfuck or floppy hat airbrushed mushroom jams

    Man or Astroman? is a space-surf-guitar band. I had some friends in high school who were really into them. Apparently their shows are fun, I think they dress up in space suits or something.

    they used to do some of the music for Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast, as any stoner who stayed up late watching Cartoon Network in the late 90s may recall. That's how I learned about them and, oddly enough, about Sonny Sharrock.

    TTL had the Goat lp for sale last week, not sure about its current stock. FYI

    I ended up copping it

    Clinic is the jam, I would highly suggest checking them out.

    I think Roky is going to have Billy Gibbons/Moving Sidewalks backing him up, so it could be great.
  • SPlDEYSPlDEY Vegas 3,375 Posts
    So.. I'm for sure going to the Austin Psych Fest!! Now, I'm just trying to rally people to go on the road trip with me.

    Who else is going?

    Just bought my ticket for Sunday.

    Sounds like it could be Harvey meets Guzzo...if anyone ever thought that possible.
