Freakwitch will be opening for the Heroes of Woodstock show at The Barnyard in Livermore, Maine on August 9th, sometime in the early afternoon. Headlining this show are original acts from the original Woodstock show 40 years ago: Jefferson Starship, Canned Heat, Big Brother and The Holding Company, Ten Years After, Country Joe McDonald and Grateful Dead’s Tom Constanten. Freakwitch and two other local bands will be opening.

We are definitely looking forward to playing this show, as it will mean playing for a lot of people who may not have heard us before. Cool!

We decided to take some excerpts from the basic tracks from the album, and put them into a nine-minute montage to serve as both a demo as well as a preview of the album. You can get the mp3 file here, or check out our MySpace page to hear it.

These are the “basic tracks” of the album, in other words these recordings are the 5 of us playing live, with no overdubs or studio trickery of any kind. Of course, the final album will have plenty of overdubs (mostly guitars and vocals), and will sound a bit different, but we feel these relatively stripped-down files do a good job of capturing the energy of the 5 of us playing music.

The song excerpts are from Seems Like, Tip Of My Tongue, Too Bad For You, Breathe, Cackle, Sway, Long Way To Go, Make It Through, and Unglued.

Enjoy!
