Witchazel Stomps Into Lexington

Witchazel returned to their hometown last night to rock out the Millennium. In a blaze of furious guitar licks, frontman Dave Ryles broke a string during his first solo. Unfortunately the road crew was given the night off in accordance to "Roadie Week". Not to fear though, it seems that the man can not only sing and play guitar, but he can also tune his own instruments.

As the show continued, countless mishaps plagued the rockers, but none seemed to conquer their groove. Intent on bringing the show up to a full fledged riot, they did not stop the music for a second. This prooved that the group could hold their own as a band or as individuals. At any rate a stage is a wellcome friend to them all. With the calendar clear for the rockers, it is uncertain what to expect next. It is apparent that it will be unexpected. The trio will continue to surprise us all at any show they play.
