Witch Ripper with Friendship Commanders – Live Music

The Colonel Venue & Cigar Lounge presents an intense night of live music featuring headliner Witch Ripper. Formed in 2012, this four-piece metal band from Seattle, Washington, blends melodic prog and crushing riffs together with complex precision. The group features vocalist and guitarist Curtis Parker, drummer Joe Eck, guitarist Coltan Anderson, and bassist Brian Kim. Known for their debut album Homestead and a split release with Brume, the band brings serious experience to the stage, having played major festivals alongside heavyweights like Gojira, Behemoth, and Slipknot.

Opening the show is Friendship Commanders, a heavy duo hailing from Nashville, Tennessee. Comprised of songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist Buick Audra alongside drummer and bassist Jerry Roe, the band recently released their fourth full-length album, BEAR, via Magnetic Eye Records. Co-produced, engineered, and mixed by Kurt Ballou at GodCity studio, their latest conceptual project delves deep into the idea of belonging—where it exists, and where it absolutely does not.

Admission for the event is $10 at the door.
