Gig listing
THE TORCHETTES
When sassy front women Deicha Carter and Abbie Thurgood open their mouths and sing, images of some of the finest, funkiest soul singers and most compelling ‘60s garage rock waft through your psyche and bones. The straight goods are delivered with grit, groove and perfect backing from Chris Van Kier (guitar), Marvin ‘the fly’ Kee (bass), Mac McDougall (drums) and recently joined Jon Whitehead (guitar). Guitar riffs, driving horns and a solid back beat build around bang-on harmonies as this gutsy beast with a doctorate in black magic melts your bits into the hot and sweaty underworld.
