This year's Hopscotch Festival (Sept 4-6) in Raleigh, NC was one hell of a shindig. This year's fest featured a versatile lineup of High On Fire, Mastodon, St Vincent, Witch Mountain, Subrosa, The War On Drugs and so many more. Check out this full set of NC's own Demon Eye who opened the festivities Saturday night at Lincoln Theater.
Witch Mountain have been in the news quite a bit lately first they announced their fourth full length album, Mobile of Angels, then shortly after that they announced lead singer Uta Plotkin will be leaving the band after they finish their current tour with Nik Turner’s Hawkwind which ends just two days before the album comes out on September 30th fantastic from what I’ve heard so far, possibly their best. So perhaps it’s time for what the band just does best: play fantastic doomy hard rock jams. With that in mind, here is a full live set from Witch Mountain from Webster’s Hall in NYC on 9/11 this past Thursday.

The legacy of SCOTT “WINO” WEINRICH in the world of heavy music is indisputable and ever-evolving, and here he teams up with CONNY OCHS, a songwriter so pure and honest in his output that he seems to be the perfect partner for WEINRICH. The two met for the first time in 2010 when OCHS was supporting WINO on his acoustic solo tour promoting his acclaimed solo album, Adrift.
Together the two wrote, performed and recorded an incredible set of
soulful tunes as well as a Townes Van Zandt cover track, which would
become their first collaborative album, Heavy Kingdom. The artwork contains drawings by both WEINRICH and OCHS, and follows the dedicated and deeply personal approach of the whole album.
