W.I.T.C.H. (We Intend To Cause Havoc) is a garage and psychedelic-rock band from Zambia in the 1970's. They were the first Zambian band to record and release a commercial album. With their unique sound, they captivated audiences with Emanyeo "Jagari" Chanda's powerful lead vocals and Patrick Mwondela's mesmerizing keyboard skills. The current lineup includes Jacco Gardner on bass, Nico Mauskoviç on drums and percussion, Stefan Lilov on guitar, and JJ Whitefield also on guitar. W.I.T.C.H.'s past members have contributed greatly to their success, including Chris "Kims" Mbewe on lead guitar and vocals, Gideon "Giddy King" Mulenga on bass guitar, Boidi "Star MacBoyd" Sinkala on drums and vocals, John "Music" Muma on rhythm guitar and vocals, Paul "Jones" Mumba on keyboards and drums, Christine Jackson as a vocalist in 1980, Peter Lungu as the drummer from 1980-1984, Shaddick Bwalya providing vocals and percussion from 1980-1984.

When J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. and long-time friend Dave Sweetapple decided to form a hard rock band, they found conspirators Kyle Thomas and Asa Irons, in the local avant-folk outfit Feathers. Witch's self-titled debut harkens back to the classic heavy metal sound of the 70s with the “all in" assault of modern rock and roll production and neatly side-steps "Stoner Rock” pigeonholes by packing more righteous riffs into a single jam than their contemporaries combined. This now classic eponymous debut released in 2006 features Mascis' return to his first love, drums, with unbridled passion that recalls Deep Wound and his 80s hardcore roots. Kyle, a.k.a. King Tuff's wails explore the juxtaposition inherent in a post-modern tribute to lost spirit. Sweetapple adds additional weight with massive, crunching bass lines and Graham Clise, guitar-slinger extraordinary from righteous punks Annihilation Time, Lecherous Gaze, Rot TV, and now Stepmother, rounds out the line-up with his liquid fire leads and classic punk energy. Witch followed up their now classical debut with engineer John Agnello, already familiar with Mascis from producing Dinosaur Jr. and J Mascis + The Fog (as well as Cindy Lauper and Screaming Trees, to name a few) and "Paralyzed” was released in 2008, delivering even speedier riffs and raging backbeats that allowed the band's punk and thrash roots to shine through.
