From the grounds of Bloomington, Indiana, that cursed land, hails the ferocious foursome feathered with electricidal tendrils stoking the flames of a mechanically grotesque goblin, seething with screeching amplitude and wiring waves as thick as molasses.
Frankie and the Witch Fingers, containing the searing soliloquies of lead vocal and rhythm guitar menace Dylan Sizemore, the palette polarizing sonic solos of lead guitarist and snythofanatic John Menashe, the radiating rhythms galloping around the caverness skull of this gas-powered monster come from the bassist Nikki Pickle, with conducting concentration and methodic beatdowns brutalizing the soundscape are supplied by drummer Nick Aguilar.

Based out of Los Angeles, California, this group supplies the very same nauseating fumes that power the towering smokestacks of some forgotten post-nuclear hideout, reaching out from the soundwave as guardsmen to their hellish electric domain. A crafty combination of inspirations from the psychedelic 60s fused with modern garage rhythms and synthy stargazing belts of pleasure envelop the atmosphere supplied by Frankie and his terrible Witch Fingers.

Woodward Theater on Main St. in Cincinnati, Ohio was packed and pungent with the stale odor of wilting decay. With opening acts supplied by Cincinnati’s own General Baxter, a snythy, scaly, and delectably dangerous power-four as well as Frankie’s tour-mates, Toronto’s spacey, seductive, psych unit Hot Garbage. The whole charade was ready to blow at the faintest drop of sweat, sparked by gasoline and cosmic destruction, a blood-sacrifice to the sonic lords. The scene was ripe from the start, a clear indication that sound and fury was alive and well in the Queen’s midwestern hallowed ground.

Frankie and the Witch Fingers new single, Electricide B/W Chalice, is out and available for digital download. With just a handful of domestic dates left on the calendar before the team departs to bring their wicked wizardry to Europe, do plan on catching a local date. Or be sorely left in the bubbling dust.
