The Lords of Acid are going back on tour after a decade-long hiatus.
Praga Kahn will be joined by guitar player Virus (Dope), bass player Murv3 (Powerman 5000), drummer Kirk Salvador (Society 1) and vocalist DJ Mea. Nikkie Van Lierop ("Darling Nikkie") appears to be gone from the lineup.
This tour coincides with the band's upcoming release, Expand Your Head, which features collaborations with Frankie Bones, KMFDM, God Lives Underwater and Joey Beltram.
Without gratuitous gushing, I will say this might possibly be the (my) show of the year. See it at RecordBar on Thursday, March 10 at 9 p.m.. Tickets will be $15.
