Sound of Liberation proudly presents:
ACID KING EUROPE TOUR 2024
SPECIAL GUEST: EARTH TONGUE
“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 20 th 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.
