Prolific LA psych rockers Frankie and the Witch Fingers performed a sold-out show at Berlin in NYC on June 6, part of an ambitious trio of album-release shows in the city, London and their homebase in celebration of “Trash Classic,” their eighth LP.
The band headed to Northern California to record in Oakland with producer Maryam Qudus (La Luz, Spacemoth), where the band began each day blaring cartoons at full volume, according to a press release.
Formed in 2013 in Bloomington, Indiana, before relocating to the West Coast, Frankie and the Witchfingers have earned accolades for their genre-busting music that blends elements of punk, garage rock and experimental psychedelia. In addition to its eight studio albums, the group has put out eight more EPs and several live releases, including “Live at KEXP,” recorded at the Seattle radio station’s performance space and released for this year’s Record Store Day.
Frankie and the Witch Fingers will tour the West Coast beginning in July and head to Europe in August. The fall will bring more US dates, including at Music Hall of Williamsburg on Sept. 19.
