About Frankie & The Witch Fingers
Hailing from Los Angeles, Frankie & The Witch Fingers have carved out a formidable reputation as purveyors of blistering, high-energy psychedelic garage rock. Formed in 2013, the band quickly garnered attention for their relentless touring schedule and a sound that blends the fuzz-drenched intensity of 60s garage punk with the expansive, often hypnotic qualities of modern psych. Their discography boasts a string of critically acclaimed albums, including “ZAM” (2019), “Monsters Eating People Eating Monsters…” (2020), and their latest offering, “Data Doom” (2023), each showcasing an evolution of their distinctive, no-holds-barred approach to rock and roll.
The current lineup, featuring Dylan Sizemore (vocals, guitar), Josh Menashe (guitar), Nikki Pickle (bass), and Nick Aguilar (drums), operates with a telepathic synergy that translates into an explosive live show. Their tracks, such as “Dracula Drug,” “Work,” and “Sleazebag,” are fan favourites, known for their driving rhythms and captivating, often surreal lyricism. Frankie & The Witch Fingers aren’t just a band; they’re a force of nature, channelling a primal energy that resonates deeply with audiences seeking an authentic, visceral musical experience. Their sound is raw, immediate, and utterly captivating, making them a must-see act for any fan of alternative and indie rock.
