Zambian psych-rock legend W.I.T.C.H. is headed to Tampa in the fall, but that’s not the only witchy concert happening this October.

Tickets to see Frankie and the Witch Fingers play Hooch and Hive in Tampa, Florida on Saturday, Oct. 22 at 8 p.m. are on sale now for $15. Kairos Creature Club and Liquid Pennies open the show.

Psych-rock is an aesthetic that’s popular on playlists that get people through the day or their workouts, but Frankie and the Witch Fingers have transcended algorithms attracted to warped guitars and lava lamp artwork.

The band built around songwriters Dylan Sizemore and Josh Menashe craft rock and roll that’ll make your entire body buzz while forcing your ears to pick up on the subtle drops of soul and heady nuances seared into mind-melting melodies. The group’s latest release “Cookin’ b/w Tracksuit” is a potent one-two punch that hits harder than most full-length releases from its genre counterparts and arrives after recent headlining tours that’ve seen Frankie and the Witch Fingers support Osees, Cheap Trick and ZZ Top while also sneaking in small venue ragers like an October 2019 set at The Bends in St. Pete.
