This is the kinda vibe @thepolyesterfriends brings to the party. An example of the audio visual experience. Crazy projection visuals by me. Sound is BBBBBBB "BPM 200,000,000" for a planned remix/destruction track. But I loved my visuals so much that I had to share. Doing my best to portray the deepest of wild overwhelming hardcore psychedelic trips via digital vandalism.
CATCH US AT BLACK DOTS IN WEST BFLO ON FEBRUARY 21ST!

24 hours from now, 75 Stutson Street will leave our atmosphere, and we will ascend into the cosmos with @acidmotherstempleofficial together. Remember to catch @thepolyesterfriends a few hours before that at 5:15
48 hours from now, you, me, my band, and all the rest of the coolest motherfuckers in the world will be at Avant Garde a Clue 2, and deeper than deep into Acid Mothers Temple's mammoth special 2.5 hour set.
Very little time remains.
See you there.
FULL DETAILS HERE: /
Full lineup drop for Avant Garde a Clue II in Rochester NY, with set times and everything. This runs October 20th - 27th, and is 100% free. It will feature some of the most creative, diverse, varied, and mind-bending outsider and experimental acts you can think of. There's simply never been a festival like this before (except its previous incarnation of course!)
Most importantly for us to note though - Tuesday October 21st 2025. The titanic Acid Mothers Temple Official will be playing an exclusive 2.5 hour long set just for the festival. They'll be playing at 7:25PM, so make sure to get there nice and early - as in, get there at doors, because it's gonna be one of the coolest craziest days of an already insane festival, and you're not gonna wanna miss anything. In addition, Makoto Kawabata will be playing a very rare solo set with Weasel Walter (The Flying Luttenbachers, Behold The Arctopus, Encenathrakh) and Crowmeat Bob at 4:30PM. And of course, my band, The Polyester Friends, will be getting weird at 5:15PM to warm you all up for the absolute gigablast that's waiting for you during the Acid Mothers Temple set. You're not ready for this.
This is truly one of the coolest fests ever. It's open to all, it's all creatives playing for creatives, noncommercial, and has a great energy that you will not find at any normal venues, shows, or festivals. This is one for all my fellow neurodivergent people who don't like big shows with lots of people and crowds and over-stimulation - but live for the weird crazy art. All ends of the musical spectrum are represented here. Don't miss out.

You may have heard about it last year, but you're DEFINITELY gonna hear about it this year. The AVANT GARDE A CLUE festival in Rochester NY is back with a vengeance for 2025, and one of the headlining acts is the only and only Acid Mothers Temple Official!!! They will be playing a mammoth 2.5 hour long hyper-psychedelic set, along with a rare Kawabata solo set! This is the ONLY date on the tour that these sweet goodies are gonna happen, so whatever you do, DO NOT miss Acid Mothers Temple on Tuesday, October 21st 2025 at AVANT GARDE A CLUE 2 at 75 Stutson Street in Rochester NY!
And best of all, the thing I'm truly most excited and stoked for, is that my very own band, THE The Polyester Friends - will be playing this show, we have the honor of being one of the opening acts on an incredibly stacked day that will be getting you ready to take a cosmic trip like no other. I'm still in utter disbelief that this is real and that I get to tell you I'm doing this. This may very will go down as being one of the greatest days of my life. Come be a part of this with me!
Oh, and did I mention it's all for free? Yeah, you'd be crazy to miss out on this!

I have the distinct pleasure to announce that I will be playing this incredible show, SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM - Rochester, NY on Saturday, May 10, as part of the boundary-pushing sonic warriors known as OPERATIONAL RESEARCH (alongside many, many other deeply talented musicians, strongly contributed to by the efforts of the utterly venerable ADAM ARRITOLA!) Ourselves and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum will also be joined by the outstanding force of doomgaze that is the one and only Spotlights (The Polyester Friends has played with them before and we're big fans and they were super cool to us, stoked for Round 2 with them!)!
This is gonna be an amazing show for all fans of avant-garde sounds in general, I'm not even gonna limit it to metal because that'd truly be unfair. There will be noises most peculiar all evening long, and it will be heavy, loud, noisy, and very, very strange. SGM is some of the weirdest, artsiest folks out there, don't miss your chance to get your mind blown again and again every few minutes at this show!

This year sucked! But there was lots of cool stuff too that made it pretty neat. If you haven't had anything neat happen to you yet, come see us play tonight at @milkieselmwoodlounge for a delightful evening of weird sounds to benefit @infringe_buffalo ! We play late, because we're the late night TV weirdo band, so all your other plans are already done and over with. Come see us instead!
"Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature."
We had an absolutely phenomenal time at #AVANTGARDEACLUE last night, and all throughout the week, this was one of the coolest things we've ever had the chance to be a part of. A free festival by artists for artists, all for the love and passion of it, on such a big scale. Too much talent and creativity to name or count. We're blown away by having had the opportunity to not only get to see so much incredible music, but also add our own noise to the roiling sea of sonic experimentation. We all made history.
Thank you @adamarritola , this was truly incredible and one of a kind, as are you. Thank you to everyone who played, and watched us play. It was swell, let's do it again sometime!
