L.A. psych-rockers Frankie and the Witch Fingers are bringing their cauldron of sounds on an Australia tour in November 2022 with Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth shows.
Fresh from shows with the Osees, and a jam-packed USA and EU Tour, the band are in their best form for their six show tour. Frankie and the Witch Fingers have toured the USA extensively with Perth favourites Psychedelic Porn Crumpets and will be gracing the lineup at Primavera Sound in Barcelona alongside King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard and Tropical Fuck Storm.
The band will now be sharing the stage with a slew of local Aussie acts from each city including Sons of Zöku (Adelaide); Bellhop, Heavy Amber and Neon Goblin (Melbourne); Turtle Skull (Sydney); and People Taking Pictures (Perth).

Coming to Australia for the first time and having already sold out one Melbourne show on word of mouth alone, FATWF are excited to showcase their swaggering and boisterous concoction of 60s rock n’ roll and psych down under where the scene has been booming. Dylan Sizemore states: “We’ve been dying to play Australia for a while now and it feels like a dream that it’s finally happening. Aussies are the best, we toured with Stonefield and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets in the States and they both absolutely rip and are the best people. I know there’s a lot of magic happening down there, and I feel very grateful to be able to finally experience what’s been emanating across the world”.
Bassist Nikki Pickle adds: “I can’t wait for our first tour in Australia! The music scene there is so legendary, I keep trying to imagine what it’ll feel like to experience it firsthand but I’m not sure anything could truly prepare us – I just know it’ll be rowdy as hell!
This massive run of shows across the globe follows their 2021 single release ‘Cookin’ B-W Tracksuit’ in October, a dual-track release via Greenway/ The Reverb Appreciation Society. Following their ambitious album Monsters Eating People Eating Monsters… which was released in 2020, the dual-track release is arguably their most accessible to date. Frankie and the Witch Fingers touch down late this year, starting their run of shows on November 8 in Adelaide.
