Det bliver tung og langsom stoner metal aften når cult legenderne i Acid King besøger København for første gang i 5 år.
Sludge og stoner bandet Sasquatch fra USA spiller første show i DK før Acid King den aften.

Acid King:
“What do you do at this point in your career, when you’ve been around for so long?”

That’s Lori S. from San Francisco’s Acid King. These days she’s asking the big questions. The storied guitarist and frontwoman has been building her electric empire, riff-by-riff, for nearly 30 years. Though Acid King’s lineup may change, Lori remains the driving force and master cylinder.

Adopting the nickname of notorious teenage slayer Ricky Kasso, Acid
King came screaming out of San Francisco in 1993 with a sound that
fused heavy ’70s proto-metal with the kind of bleary, slow- rolling dirge
power being harnessed by their contemporaries in Sleep and Electric
Wizard.

The band’s 1993 debut 10” was followed two years later by their first full-length album Zoroaster (Sympathy For The Record Industry), which set the stage for a trio of crucial releases on Frank Kozik’s famed Man’s Ruin label, which included the EP Down with the Crown & Free. But it would be Acid King’s acclaimed 1999 album Busse Woods that solidified
their reputation amongst a generation of riff worshipers, weed heads and heavy rock enthusiasts. Two decades of hard touring and sporadic recording ensued.

The band released III in 2005 on Small Stone records and—after parting
ways with the musicians who played on 2015’s Middle Of Nowhere, Center of Everywhere—Lori formed a touring lineup that concluded with the Busse Woods 20th Anniversary tour in 2019. Lori wasted no time pondering her next move. The sweeping lockdowns that attended the great plague of 2020-2022 provided the opportunity to collaborate with Black Cobra guitarist/vocalist Jason Landrian.

“Once we got together and started writing, it was clear that it was much
more than an obscure, avant-garde instrumental thing we originally had
in mind. These were really good songs we were proud of. It became an Acid King record.” The result is Beyond Vision, and it’s unlike anything Acid King has done before.

The undulating, lysergic pulse that underscores Beyond Vision marks the
dawn of a new era for a band that previously relied almost exclusively on
thundering riffage. Don’t get it twisted, though: There are blistering guitars aplenty. Beyond Vision is simply Acid King in widescreen technicolor and interstellar cinemascope.

“The songs really have no beginning or ending—they all just flow into each other. It’s meant to be listened to as one piece. The whole point was to have the listener feel like they’re on a journey. If you put headphones on, it’ll take you to whatever places you’d like to go to.”

It's that kind of serendipity that permeates Beyond Vision. What began
as an experiment became the path to a silver future.

+ Special Guests: Sasquatch
Few bands have the power to make traditionalism sound fresh, but the energy of Sasquatch will not be denied. For over 20 years, the Los Angeles-based power trio have been an institution among fuzz heads and those willing to groove. Since their self-titled debut in 2004, their penchant for hooks and unflinching vitality of performance have assured their legend, and in 2022, they release Fever Fantasy as a triumphant and awaited return of one of American heavy rock's best and most accomplished units.

Founded by guitarist/vocalist Keith Gibbs in 2000 and featuring Jason "Cas" Casanova (ex-Tummler, Behold! the Monolith) on bass since 2007, Sasquatch released II in 2006, III in 2010 and IV in 2013 before shifting course from their numerical trajectory. 2017's Maneuvers brought in Boston-based drummer Craig Riggs (also vocals in Roadsaw, Kind), making the three-piece bicoastal. And while the logistics may have been more complicated, the results were undeniable. Not only had Sasquatch not lost a step, they seemed to find another gear entirely on stage as well as in the studio with New York-based producer Andrew Schneider (who had previously mixed II).

That collaboration with Schneider continues on Fever Fantasy, and with a sound that reaches farther even as it harnesses the heaviest tones the band have ever had, the album is both their most mature work and strikingly brash when it wants to be -- looking at you, "Live Snakes." Its songs feel written for the stage but do not ignore the power of the studio in allowing them to flesh out ideas as on the extended, organ-laced "Ivy" or the opening cut "It Lies Beyond the Bay," which doesn't so much set the table for what follows as it smashes it.

Having toured on multiple continents (North America, Australia, Europe), had songs placed in various TV shows, and built a loyal fanbase in classic "you gotta hear this band" word of mouth fashion rather than some contrived hype machine, Sasquatch reign among the most essential heavy rock and roll acts in the US. Fever Fantasy -- not quite a dream, not quite reality -- broils accordingly.
