Three questions with L.A. Witch singer Sade Sanchez

LA Witch plays with Death Valley Girls on August 10.

L.A. Witch has been playing Las Vegas a lot lately. What’s the band’s relationship to the city? Our first time there we got invited by our friends in the band Santoros. It was our first time playing outside of LA, and we had a really great experience. It’s a cool scene, and there’s a lot of kids who are into our music. You’ll see a lot of the same faces from the first shows we played there. It makes us feel very welcome.

You played Austin Psych Fest in May. What was that like? It has always been a dream of all of ours. We didn’t think it would happen so soon, especially not even having released a full-length album. We were very happy to play it, and it was everything we thought it would be—one of the best times we’ve had playing a show.

Your website says the full-length is due out this summer on Lolipop Records. Is there a definite drop date, and what can we expect to hear on it? We’re in the process of mixing. This is our first time really putting out an album, so it’s still kind of a learning experience … It’s always really hard to define your genre or what you’re going for. Every song has a different vibe to it, but at the same time it’s still somehow our sound. Some songs sound more punk, some sound more blues-y and some are more garage-y. We have a hard time sticking to a theme or a certain sound.

L.A. Witch with Death Valley Girls, Candy Warpop. August 10, 9 p.m., free. Beauty Bar, 702-598-3757.
