Before they share the stage with a stellar New Year’s Evil lineup at The Bakery, we spend a minute with Bläckwitch and find out what’s new…
Describe your music in five words or less.
Groovy doom riffs.
What’s going on in the world of Bläckwitch?
Writing a bunch of new stuff to record in 2015. Small tours on the horizon and a few days filming in January.
What motivates you to make music?
It’s something we all love. Listening to and making music. Growing up in the Southwest amongst a surf and skate culture, it is just something you are brought up in.
What have been the high and low points of your musical experiences so far?
No low points. We are just enjoying ourselves more and more and growing as a band every show.
What music are you listening to at the moment?
Pentagram, Witchcraft, 90s punk, local stuff… Bit of everything 
If you were stranded on a desert island, which member of the band would get eaten first?
Benny Dregs. Sorry mate.
Here’s an opportunity to bitch about something, whether music related or not. What really pisses you off?
Stereosonic — gym junkie, steroid eating, douchbag pretty boy fuckwits that go to festivals for all the wrong reasons.
You’re putting together your perfect gig featuring Australian artists. Who would you get to play and where? Feel free to include acts/DJs/bands/venues that no longer exist.
Impossible question. Too many epic aus and WA bands in different genres… But, AC/DC, Scalphunter, Chainsaw Hookers and Blackwitch on a yacht in the Whitsundays?
Bläckwitch join Chainsaw Hookers, The Devil Rides Out, Scalphunter, Tangled Thoughts of Leaving and many more for New Year’s Evil at The Bakery. Tickets on sale now through lifeisnoise.com.
