Joseph Mascis and the rest of the band will continue touring in late march on selected dates, showcasing material from their eponymous debut album, issued on Tee Pee Records.
The band\'s first album was recorded at Mango Studio in Amherst, Massachusetts with engineer John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr., Early Man, Screaming Trees, Lamb Of God) at the helm.
Witch\'s musical direction is being described as \"a mighty sonic tumult that harkens back to classic heavy metal sound of early \'70s outfits while still sounding modern in its assault (and without falling into the ubiquitous \'stoner rock\' pigeonhole).\"
SXSW festival South by Southwest Music and Media Conference (SXSW) 2006, in its twentieth year, will take place March 15 - 19, 2006.
Over 1300 artists are playing at the 2006 edition, including Beth Orton, Blues Brother Castro, ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Jack\'s Mannequin, and Belle & Sebastian on March 15, the first day of the festival.
