Once upon a time, WITCH (We Intend To Cause Havoc) ruled Zambia, blowing the minds of a generation with their radical sounds. Zamrock wasn’t just music, it was rebellion; a sonic renaissance and a radical act of self-definition, funnelled through fuzz pedals, sweat, and spirit. Drawing from psychedelic rock, garage funk, blues, and traditional Zambian rhythms, it was raw and unpredictable – like James Brown jamming with Black Sabbath in a Lusaka backyard. The band’s electrifying guitar sound is both primal and futuristic: the distortion heavy, the grooves deep, the energy untamed.
The iconic ensemble is survived by Jagari Chanda and Patrick Mwondela who came back after decades in obscurity following a documentary and brilliant comeback album. Now on a roll, WITCH return to Australia with a phenomenal new album Sogolo to follow their triumphant sold out 2024 tour.
"The band converted a crowd of new listeners into hardcore fans with their signature mix of stoner rock with African grooves - a mix that was impossible not to move to” The Music
"What they created wasn’t an echo, but an origin point. The world is only now beginning to catch the frequency” The Quietus
