ALL THEM WITCHES IN CONCERT:
Heavy psych rockers All Them Witches have been conjuring a hypnotic blend of massive riffs, pummeling rhythms, and bluesy wails since they first threw down in 2012. Their concerts offer maximal volume to fans: bass, guitar, and keyboards blast fuzzy instrumental hooks over the pounding drums on favorites like "When God Comes Back," "Dirt Preachers," and "El Centro." When not lost in headbanging ecstasy, vocalist Charles Michael Parks, Jr. adds southern rock and proto-metal flourishes with his twangy vocals and twisted psychedelic lyrics. All Them Witches squeeze every ounce of shred out of their maniacal earworms and keep the jams going long so ticket buyers can get lost in this unforgettable and savage trip.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Charles Michael Parks, Jr. (vocals/bass) first met Robby Staebler (drums) in 2011 when the two were working together at a corporate chain store. Staebler shared some music that he'd been working on with Parks and Ben McLeod (guitar), and Parks thought a jam session was in order. They clicked instantly and decided to form All Them Witches, rounding out their lineup in 2012 with the addition of Allan Van Cleave (keyboards). Later that year the group released their debut album Our Mother Electricity, an auspicious effort that distilled their unique blend of psych rock, proto-metal, and blues. They then undertook a rigorous touring schedule and encouraged fans to exchange tapes of their marathon jams from night to night. Their unique approach to self-promotion caught the attention of doom metal quintet Windhand, who invited All Them Witches to open on their 2014 tour. Following incendiary sets at Bonnaroo and SXSW, the group signed with New West to release 2015's critically praised Dying Surfer Meets His Maker. All Them Witches continue to win over heavy music fans with their intrepid live jams, tireless touring, and prolific recorded output.
Great live show, a must see!!! No one is doing it like ATW, they are at the top spot in their genre. No one comes even close
This band literally blew my doors off. Strong connections within the band and in support of each one’s solo-loquy ;) was evidence of the years they’ve been together honing their craft. Their music went through my chest and blew out the back of my rib cage and out of all my limbs in the most magical way. Definitely has a hard time forming complete sentences after this show! GO SEE THEM LIVE NOW!
All them witches always put on one heck of a show. Having seen them several times it was great to see they mix the set list up.
This band completely blew me away. What a tight and transcendent live show! The way the sounds came together in person was complete bliss. This is a band that is hitting a prime, rare air that should not be missed in person. Go see them NOW!
The opening band and band itself were wonderful! I teally enjoyed listening to both. The venue was standing room only and packed with people. Wish the venue sold less tickets as it was so packed that I couldnt move at all.
Epic night at Tellus360. I love this venue. It was my first time there and ill be back. Normal bar price drinks not $15 for a bud. Accoustics wete good for a smaller size space. All Them Witchs and their opener The Swell Fellas killed it. Gfeat time was had by all
Me and my partner came out describing it as a spiritual experience. Amazing energy, almost like from a really intense temple or shaman
The show itself was absolutely amazing. They are great musicians and their musical knowledge is limitless. If you ever get the chance to see them live, by all means do! That is for the group, now more about the ambiance at the Astral.. The crowd was weird, agitated and inappropriate. The lead singer literally asked the crowd twice to be a little quieter, because he was trying to concentrate. People were fighting, and a girl leggit showed her breasts. Me and my sister were so confused..
First time seeing the Witches and I hope it's not my last.I've seen hundreds of shows and this will go into my "best of" list.
ATW did not disappoint! Set was fire and performance on point. Really rocked!! I’d never heard of the opener LA Witch and now I’m a fan. They rocked too!! 🔥
