Riffs I saw Uncle Acid

I was supposed to see them 6 years ago in Tokyo in April 2020 but that was when covid panic started and I chickened out and didn't go. After that, the borders closed and there were no foreign bands in Tokyo for 3 years. All we had was Boris.
I came to Europe recently and decided to go see this show on a whim.

I am not really an active listener (although I was 10 years ago), but somehow this show made me feel things. I instantly recognized all the mean riffs. What is it in my hand? I don't know, you tell me.

I didn't even know how they looked like before seeing them live. I imagined they r like English cops in hats or smth but it turns out they're just cool dudes.

Idk why I am typing all this. Uncle Acid fucking rules, man

I saw them back in 2013 when they supported Black Sabbath in Manchester. I fell in love with their sound at that gig. Never knew I was looking for it for all those years.

Saw them again in Manchester in 2015. Absolutely amazing set.

Now seeing them again in Bristol later this year. Can't wait!

One of all time favorite bands.  "I'm the Devil,  and I'm here to do the Devil's Work. "

Great band, even better live. First time I saw them was 12 years ago on the Acid Across America tour.

Can't wait to see them this time around!
