Prairie Witch

Bismarck based heavy rock band Prairie Witch has been kicking out the jams since 2012, and in that time have toured around the Midwest and melted faces along the way. Prairie Witch has played with such diverse acts as Saliva, The Meat Puppets, Dead Horse Trauma, and Act of Defiance. They have also played Revival Fest in Illinois, a 3-day party in the woods.

Prairie Witch keeps it loose and informal onstage, but never sacrifices a great performance. They feel that the goal of a live performance should be the entertainment and enjoyment of both audience and performers. To this end, they talk with the crowd, not just to them, and always bring 110% to the music.

Prairie Witch is the embodiment of the dichotomy of rock/metal: serious and silly. They write songs about depression and isolation like Locked Away and Below, and songs like Night Terrors and Hand of Doom, both about comic book characters, and Through the Eye, about interdimensional space monsters.

In Sept 2018, Prairie Witch independently released What We Have Become, their follow-up to 2015’s Hitch-Hiking Prohibited.
