Witch Mountain is a legend in the making, complimented with the title of the “top-purveyors of American doom.” Pinkish Black is an experimental duo grown from a doom/jazz trio, with Mountain of Smoke rounding out the line up with their sounds of sludge and noise. $12 in advance and $15 at the door.
