In their two decades of existence, Bay Area trio have experienced numerous triumphs and various losses along the road. Fronted by guitarist/vocalist Lori S, the trio quickly earned a reputation among the stoner scene for their heavy low-end sound, their spacey atmosphere and Lori‘s distinctive vocal delivery.
Their 2015 album, “Middle of Nowhere Center of Everywhere,” saw the band reemerge following nearly a decade away from the studio due to line-up changes and received widespread critical acclaim from tastemakers such as Noisey, Blabbermouth, Invisible Oranges, Ultimate Guitar, and New Noise.
The record extended a celebrated discography that encompasses three eps and three full-lengths, namely “Zoroaster” from 1995, “Busse Woods” from 1999, and “Acid King III” from 2005. They embarked on tours throughout the States, Europe and Australia, and also appeared on festivals such as Psycho Las Vegas, Erosion Fest, Desert Generator, and Roadburn as well as sharing the stage with everyone from Sleep and Down to Blue Öyster Cult, Red Fang, and YOB.
“Live At Roadburn 2011” is the band’s first live album and documents Acid King infamous performance at Roadburn Festival 2011 in Holland. Mixed by Billy Anderson, mastered by Justin Weis and featuring the artwork of Richard Schouten based on the original poster art from the 2011 show, the album captures the band’s lumbering, Bluesy and groovy sound perfectly and can really transport listeners back in time into 2011 right in the front row.
