Elk Witch Announce West Coast Touring
Medford, Oregon’s Elk Witch have a West Coast run coming up in April/May, bookended on either side by — guess what — more shows. The get-out-of-town stint begins March 25 in Eureka, California, before the tour actually starts more than a month later at the end of April, and when they’re done fuzzplundering along the Cali coastline and have hit up Vegas and Reno for more inland adventuring, they’ll finish out their Spring May 16 at Portland’s famed High Water Mark.
The band were last heard from with 2024’s Azimuth, which was engineered and mixed by guitarist Deven Andersen and can be streamed below. I apparently whiffed on reviewing the album (some punk rock guilt there, of course, but this ain’t Pokemon and I can’t catch ’em all; some day in the next three years it will close out a week and all wrongs will be righted), but I’m sure you caught onto it because you’re cooler than I am. In any case, it’s there if you’d like a refresher. I’ve got it on now and it’s pretty rad, a little post-Sword but with more depth of riff. Kind of reminds me of Lords of the North back whenever that was, and that’s a compliment in my brain. Lucky me, I learned a thing today.
To the matter at hand, the dates from the PR wire:
ELK WITCH Announces “From Dust to Moss” West Coast Tour
Elk Witch will be hitting the road this spring for the From Dust to Moss West Coast Tour, bringing their heavy, fuzz-drenched riffs across the western U.S.
The tour will mark the first run of shows with new drummer Kenneth Snyder, whose addition signals a new chapter for Elk Witch. These shows will also serve as a proving ground for new material as the band prepares to enter production on their third full-length album later this year. Together, these performances represent a pivotal moment of transition and momentum as Elk Witch continues to expand its reach to new audiences. The band will be sharing the stage with an incredible lineup of heavy bands across the tour, with full lineups to be announced soon.
