    SPOKE with Sade Sanchez (L.A. Witch)

    In this episode of SPOKE, we talked to Sade Sanchez of the L.A. (duh) based pysch-punk band L.A. Witch. Founded in 2011, and having released two albums and several singles, the band's sound has evolved but it's lo-fi, bloozy approach remains the same (see The Cramps, Dead Moon, Scientists, Mazzy Star, et al). This episode covers everything from post-pandemic live sets, motorcycle crashes, muscle cars, cauliflower ears, reverb obsession and much more.  Check out L.A.
