Conjuring up the Good Spirits and Tormented Souls Fiona Horne brought her magick to the Milk Bar. Fronting the forceful four piece that is Seawitch, and down to nine operating fingers, the gypsy witch was mesmerising. This was a vintage hard rocking performance from a seasoned band full of vigor that know how to summon a captivating sound from their essential tools of the trade.
From the compelling opening rock riff of “Initiate” Seawitch demonstrated they are a full force rock love machine. The four opening anthems, taken off the recently released Seawitch EP, were followed by an equal number of similar explosive numbers (“Witch Forever”, “Esbat”, “Force”, “Dark Knight”).
This was an enthralling and powerfully urgent set that made for a Happy Helloween.
Line up: Fiona Horne of Def-FX fame (vocals/guitar),her partner Dave (Spiff) Hopkins, formerly of The Hellmenn (guitar), Brad Miller (bass, 16’s), Matt Hamilton (drums, The Secret Weapon).
