L.A. Witch is an American garage-rock trio formed in Los Angeles, California in 2011.[1][2] Founded by L.A. natives[3] Sade Sanchez (vocals, guitar) and Irita Pai (bass), 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."[4] The group's influences include Black Sabbath, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and seminal L.A. punk rock bands X and the Gun Club.[5][6]

History

Formation

Asked to come up with a name, the band chose its current name after discovering its first choice, Witch, was taken.[7] Drummer Ellie English replaced original drummer Crystal Nava after the latter left for New York City and didn't return.[8]

Touring and Recording

The band toured extensively before releasing its eponymously-titled debut album in 2017,[9][10] followed by Play With Fire in 2020. The band tours frequently in the U.S. and internationally.[11][12]
