Witch Hats are more than the visuals and more than the initial assault of dangerously pounding bass and slurringly jagged vocals.  There's a wicked humor to be found above the stabbing guitars and somehow the band manages to cover both the Breeders and Spacemen 3 convincingly.  So convincingly in fact, the original Birthday Party drummer, Phil Calvert, became a convert and produced their first 7"s and EP.  America - prepare for the invasion.  Beginning tomorrow in Portland, Witch Hats are bringing their dark magic over here, snaking around the country playing with everyone from the Vivian Girls to Heavy Trash and ending up at the F-Yeah Fest in LA.  I won't get to see them til they come to Chicago on the 27th, but I'd imagine missing the show would qualify you for deportation.
