Ak'chamel — live event
These ain’t your grandma’s folk troubadours— For over 15 years Ak’chamel have been cutting off the foreskin of enlightenment with a rusty castrator while tuning their broken lutes to the frequency of a prophetic meteor shower. Their live performances? Pure gonzo bedlam which drags listeners, kicking and raving, through voracious, anthropologically cryptic rites. Ak’chamel recklessly unravels the fabric of reality, stitches it back together with bloodied barbed wire, and hands you the fucking needle. An Ak’chamel set is something you can’t prepare for, you just dive in and see where the sounds of the experimental/noise act take you. Also, as we learned by chatting with the band after its set (they’re super nice, despite the daunting costumes they perform in), most Ak’chamel gigs don’t feature a lot of the band’s pre-recorded music. Ergo, no title for the show-closer which mesmerized us at a recent Big Top show. The low hum of the tune caused an ASMR reaction for this listener, who dopily enjoyed the scalp-tingling pyrotechnics Ak’chamel set off. (Houston press)
