Margarita Witch Cult Announce European Tour Dates
UK three-piece Margarita Witch Cult — who issued their self-titled debut (review here) in April through Heavy Psych Sounds and who rightly stress that they hail from Birmingham — are set to head out on their first round of European touring in support of that album next month. They’ll make stops at StonerKras in Italy and Stick and Stone in Austria, hitting points between in Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary and Austria. It’s an eight-day run and they give themselves one day off, so yeah, you could say they’re making the most of it.
And fair enough. That record was a garden of vintage delights, raw punk and ’70s groove managing to come across neither as hackneyed nor underthought. It’s on my best debuts of 2023 list (yes I already have one, it’s just not in order yet and hopefully still growing), and I expect it will remain there when the year’s over.

BIOGRAPHY
Hailing from the home of metal, Birmingham UK, Margarita Witch Cult are the Sabbath City’s newest heirs to the throne of darkness- serving a merciless concoction of stoned sludge, demented thrash, and proto-metal weirdness. Having released their lo-fi cassette demo ‘Witchfinder’ in early 2022 to international acclaim- being booked for Desertfest London and signing with HPS- the self-proclaimed “disciples of the riff” having been tearing up venues across the UK and leaving audiences aghast in their wake-sinking their claws into all who dare offer up their ears and eyes to their unholy din.
MARGARITA WITCH CULT self-titled debut album was released April 2023 via Heavy Psych Sounds !!!
MARGARITA WITCH CULT is:
Scott Vincent (vocals & guitar)
George Casual (drums)
Jim Thing (bass)
