APPENDICES
These are the final statistics concerning the total number of known WITCH performances, venues played, cancellations, songs performed live, headlining shows, opening bands, and any other stats I can come up with. As much as I've tried, it is by no means complete. We know for sure the band played announced, flyered performances in at least one of their rehearsal studios, but the flyers no longer exist and no one knows the date(s), so these performances are not included in any of the final stats. And there are definitely more "lost" performances that we have yet to track down. But, the majority of the information here, like the rest of this website, is as accurate as it might ever get.
