ALL THEM WITCHES
with New Madrid
at Turf Club
Saturday, 12/19/15, 8pm ($10/$12)
turfclub.net

Athens-based New Madrid will be making a stop at the Turf Club in St Paul on Sunday, December 19th in support of their 2014 album Sunswimmer (Normaltown Records). These guys have an awesome sound that is almost psych-rock but not quite. At times it just sounds like layers upon layers of noise and then the next song sounds like a straight up rock song. They are said to be working on a new album coming out next year, so I'm anxious to see what the new songs sound like!

They will be opening for All Them Witches who were here in February and played to a packed house at the 7th Street Entry.

Tickets are moving fast for this show. Don't miss your chance to catch these awesome bands!
