(we’re pretty certain) RICK SANTORUM LOVES THIS BAND (as much as we do)


We here at Total Fest love duos, we especially love duos that power through songs better than any normal five-piece band.  Minneapolis’ Gay Witch Abortion shred song after song with sludge riffs cranked to 11 and a pummeling rhythm of drums. These dudes' relentless hang of drumbeats and riffs latch to your brain leaving it in a stew of mush.  The vocals are far and few but with the clout of the percussion and the razor sharp fuzz of guitar there is hardly any room.  It’s no surprise these noise behemoths played a set at AmReps 25th Anniversary, shared the stage with Hammerhead and Melvins earlier this summer and have music included in Junko Mizuno’s new book. Missing their set at Total Fest will certainly be a regrettable decision.
