[ATTENDED: May 21, 2026] L.A. Witch
I hadn’t heard of L.A. Witch before this show, but the name sounded promising. I’m not sue what I expecting, but this band did not bring that. There was nothing witchy–comical or otherwise) about their songs, which were kind of slow and surfy.
I guess if I had just looked at Wikipedia I would have seen that that is exactly what they sound like:
the band’s sound has been described as a “mix of forlorn psych folk, lethargic lo-fi blues and boozy garage rock drones steeped in moody, drugged-out surf reverb.”
Sade Sanchez (vocals, guitar) plays a hollow bodied electric guitar with lots of reverb. A couple of songs picked up the pace with Irita Pai’s bass propelling Drive Your Car, but Sanchez’ voice just didn’t do anything for me. Drummer Ellie English was solid, but with the simple music, there wasn’t too much excitement there. But, I guess that’s the deal with garage rock, right? (more…)
