Acid Mothers Temple At Johnny Brenda’s

 

I wasn’t surprised to learn that one of the most recent projects by Acid Mothers Temple is inspired by Miles Davis (“Son Of A Bitches Brew”). When I was I senior in college, I took an introductory jazz course. A couple weeks into the class, we began covering fusion. Among the examples of this genre given by my professor was “Bitches Brew”, the track that shares the name of Davis’s famous experimental album. My professor explained the almost 27 minute piece at length before allowing the class to hear it. “I just didn’t get it”, he said repeatedly during what seemed to be a ten minute description of this specific Davis creation. Finally, my teacher momentarily put his lecture to rest and pressed the “play” button on his stereo remote.

“Is this what it’s like to be on LSD?” I asked myself, as I tried to navigate my mind around this instantaneous transportation into the musical world of Miles Davis. I had never heard anything like “Bitches Brew” before that day in class. It made me realize the enormity of room there is for the interpretation of any song. A musical piece that is completely incomprehensible to one person could make total sense to another. That’s the beauty of art. I’m reminded of this when listening to Acid Mothers Temple.

Tomorrow night at 9:00, this uniquely formed group of artists will take the stage at Johnny Brenda’s and grace Philadelphia with their matchless, musical flair. Acid Mothers Temple have produced many works in the last 15 years that embody a no holds barred approach in exploration of music. Like Miles Davis, the group’s talent is clearly showcased through their works, whether the average listener gets it or not. The most important thing to understand is how passionate Acid Mothers Temple are about the music they create. The doors for the show open at 8:00 and tickets are priced at $13.00.

Kira Small is an incredible singer/songwriter/keyboardist whose original R&B/soul material is just as deeply intimate as it is funky. Her 2010 CD Raise My Voice [Offrow Records] as well as her previous CD Love In A Dangerous World [2006, Offrow Records] were produced by Bruce Dees (James Brown, Ronnie Milsap) and feature many Muscle Shoals & Motown veterans. As a session singer in Nashville, Kira has performed and recorded with Peter Frampton, Martina McBride, Wynonna Judd, Faith Hill and more. Bluegrass artists Nu-Blu’s version of Kira’s song “Other Woman’s Blues” is the first single off the band’s 2011 album The Blu-Disc and is currently climbing the bluegrass radio charts.

Bryan is a well-known bassist, has toured worldwide with guitarists Steve Vai and Mike Keneally (both ex-Frank Zappa bandmates), the metal band Dethklok (Metalocalypse on Cartoon Network) & hot new super-trio The Aristocrats (w/Marco Minnemann & Guthrie Govan), and has been the focus of plenty of press. He’s also Kira’s husband. 🙂 The material they perform is primarily Kira’s original catalog, with a few choice covers as well. Their newly released duo album Live At The White House (recorded at the Timucua White House in Orlando, FL) has been garnering rave reviews like this one: http://www.thunderrow.com/content.php?1108-Kira-Small-Bryan-Beller-Lightning-And-Thunder
