Kinski members Lucy Atkinson, Barrett Wilke, and Chris Martin will be joining Kawabata Makoto from Acid Mothers Temple Sat. Oct. 31, at the Rendezvous. Martin predicts that Kinski's contribution is "going to involve a lot of keyboards."

Here's what I said about the show in this week's paper:

Thrones, Amber Asylum, Kawabata Makoto, ?Alos, Sugar Skulls

(Rendezvous) Rendezvous offers a weirdly mixed bag of tricks and treats for your Halloween festivities. Thrones (Salem, Oregon's Joe Preston) ranks among the highest practitioners of low-end aural punishment. An early member of Earth, Preston also has throttled his bass for Melvins, Men's Recovery Project, Sunn O))), and other avant-metallers; he's honed his glowering, overcast steez until it seems as if his very tones have grown unruly fur and fangs. Acid Mothers Temple shaman Kawabata Makoto communicates with otherworldly deities through his eloquent guitar in alternately boisterous and dewy tones. San Francisco's Amber Asylum straddle romantic goth folk and dark ambient realms with grace, black lace, and eyeliner. They brood elegantly amid bruised-purple string parts and descending chord progressions while Kris Force flexes operatic skills on the mic. Sugar Skulls, by contrast, spaz out on the frenetic prog-rock tip while Italy's ?Alos earn their question mark with intense, tonally peculiar post-rock festooned with Yoko Ono—esque trills.

Music starts at 8 pm; cover is $13 with costume/$15 without; 21+. Aerial Ruin are also on the bill.
