Dead Witch becomes a chaos‑friendly, feelings‑forward jam space for anyone ready to scream, strum, shred, or softly cry into a microphone.
If you’ve ever learned every Blink‑182 riff, belted Paramore in the car, written lyrics in a school notebook, or processed heartbreak through a pop‑punk playlist — this night is built for you.
Full backline provided:
Two guitar amps, bass amp, full drum kit, vocal mics.
Bring your instrument or borrow from a friendly stranger. It’s that kind of night.
Happy Hours
7PM–8PM — pre‑jam warm‑up
12AM–1AM — low‑key late‑night option for the ones still out
Designed to keep things fun, not reckless.
Late‑Night Food Menu
Honey soy or sweet & spicy Korean fried chicken, curly fries, mac & cheese bites, jalapeño poppers, vegan onion rings and more — dirty, comforting, and perfect between chaotic covers and emotional breakdowns.
It’s collaborative.
It’s cathartic.
It’s messy in the best possible way.
Jump in for covers, originals, improvised chaos, or just soak in the noise.
This is the heart of the takeover — community, catharsis, and loud feelings shared loudly.
Free entry. Full backline. Real crowd.
Book a ticket to secure your spot.
