Biography
The band's music is heavily influenced by the late 1960s when heavy metal was emerging. Allmusic praised the band's ability to recreate a particular aspect of this era, describing the band as "celebrating the Summer of Love's soul-chilling autumn: a blasted landscape, post-flower power, resembling Altamont's killing fields, reeking of the Manson Family murders, and, naturally, sounding like a mish-mash of all of the apocalyptic musical forces that converged upon that era."
The band has been described as "the original Alice Cooper band jamming in a cell with early Black Sabbath and the Stooges". In order to replicate the sound of that era, the band uses vintage instruments and recording equipment.
The band’s name was taken from Rusty Day, the singer of Cactus, who later had a band called Uncle Acid And The Permanent Damage Band. Uncle Acid was originally the otherwise-anonymous frontman, although he has since changed his stage name to K.R. Starrs and now views the band members collectively as being "Uncle Acid".
Blood Lust was the band's breakthrough album, with The Quietus describing it as "a glorious and idiosyncratic collection that quickly garnered rabid cult status amongst the worldwide doom fraternity" and Decibel Magazine referring to it as "a groovy, evil delight". Allmusic described Blood Lust as "a mixture of psychedelic rock's harrowing comedown, garage and punk rock's nihilistic ascent, and the earliest manifestations of heavy metal's occult-laced, nerve-damaging bludgeon".
The album garnered substantial acclaim, for which K.R. Starrs remarked, "it kind of took everyone by surprise that the album took off the way it did".
With the release of the band's third album, Mind Control, more 1970s pop influences were incorporated into the music. A concept album, K.R. Starrs explained that Mind Control is a "fictional story...about a cult leader who comes down from the mountain and brainwashes his desert disciples through drugs, love, violence, and intimidation". According to Metacritic, the album has received "universal acclaim" with a score of 81 based on 7 critics. Justin Norton, writing for Decibel Magazine, awarded the album a score of 8 out of 10 and described the album as "a perfect union of Sabbath riffs, fuzz and Herschell Gordon Lewis".

If anyone of You is hearing this band for the first time and likes it, I'm telling you they didn't play a lot of their (in my opinion) best material. Check out Withered Hand of Evil, Night Creeper (the song), Downtown, Bedouin and the entire Mind Control album.
That’s the beauty of opinion, because I’d argue that they made a great choice of material.
I Really dig witches Garden and wind up toys
I was really impressed with these last night, brilliant band, will be definitely delving into their back catalogue for sure
I didn't think much of them when I checked them out on Spotify, but live they were brilliant on Friday night.
I was there last night standing 15 rows back.
Thank you for filming and uploading this!
Loved these last night!
Listen to the band Ancient Days
i am now, it's good shit. thank you
Swear the bassist is like Cliff Burton reborn
Come to Brazil!!
At what time did Twin temple and Uncle acid start playing after the doors opened?
In Paris the doors opened at 18h and they started their set at 19h50
they performance was amazing but the lighting was horrendous, even sitting close to the stage you could see them.
Very good band Pity the In house lighting and sound techs didnt do them justice. Extremeley poor lighting, its not fare on support acts to be treated in this manner nd unfare on paying guests to witness such a rediculous situation I was there and was impressed with the band but disgusted by the techs. For most of it Uncle Acid were in total darkness. Well done Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats. I sould get a refund .......
Ghost is notorious for doing that.
I know someone personally who played in a band that opened for them and they put a limiter on the soundboard and demanded either a cut of their merch sales or to jack merch prices by 300%.
They like to expose the underground in an exploitative manner.
