Back in 2005 I ended up more or less by accident in a club that provided cheap beer and long haired people on a late Saturday night. Little did I know that I was about to witness one of the best gigs of my life that night. In a corner that served as a poor excuse for a stage three guys with bell bottoms and long hair were tuning their instruments. And as they were doing that and checking the tunings a small jam started to happen. That jam ended up being the start of the actual gig. I was not at all prepared for what was about to happen. I can only describe it as pure rock’n’roll magic.
The band that played that night was Witchcraft and they had just released their self-titled debut album. Now ten years later Witchcraft has gone from an obscure underground phenomenon that played 70’s rock that no one gave a shit about back then to one of the most respected acts of the scene. They are generally considered as pioneers and forerunners of the whole stoner/retro rock scene these days.
