About Me

Hi, Want a free tape? True Boston scene music goers heard this over and over again as they met the members from Witch Bonnie flyering the Boston music scene constantly between 1989 and 1992. After the band completed it's first 8 song demo tape, several record companies passed. Since there was still a local demand for the band's recorded music, the demo actually ended up being the band's first release. It was a simple 8 track recording, but "Hot, Nice & Nasty" eventually found itself in thousands of cassette players. The follow up 10 song release "The First Time Always Hurts", also sold thousands of units through the merch mail order campaign. In all, Witch Bonnie had reached 50 U.S. states and 22 countries via the band's self marketing campaign. By 1991, Witch Bonnie was receiving up to 200 pieces of fan mail daily, with a over 150 cassettes distributed daily.
Witch Bonnie disbanded in mid 1992. Towards the end, Keiley had left the band to join another Boston band, Sideshow. Our good friend, and smoking guitarist, Whitey filled in on bass for our final shows. After the band parted, Gomez, Scott and Whitey continued on as Mama's Tongue, while bruce went on to join Acid Jack comprised of Jim Maher and Roy Porter of Tin Pan Alley, along with Eric Boomhower and Derek Sanchioni. Both bands were received very well by the changing Boston Music Scene, thanks to Nirvana.
