Witch Hats

Overview

Witch Hats are the kind of band that helps you to remember what it feels like to be 17 again. You know the days, when no one admitted to liking pop music and everything you listened to had to have angry and gritty overtones to be acceptably cool. Described by Mess & Noise as creating “pop songs that sound as if they’d spent twenty years in a trashcan”, Melbourne quartet Witch Hats manage to marry melodically dysfunctional pop with lo-fi dirty noise.

The band have evolved considerably since their early ‘caps locked’ days and have stepped their songs up a notch musically by teaming up with producer Casey Rice (Tortoise, The Dirty Three, Ben Lee) for their newly released LP Pleasure Syndrome. Bringing a medley of post-punk, pop and noise rock with a live show that’s been described by the band as an idiotic and loose affair, get set to throw your inhibitions aside and party like an underage teenager. Witch Hats are set to make a mess of Alhambra Lounge this February, buy a ticket and join in on the frivolity.
