Zac Bentz has been casting musical spells in the Duluth area since 2001, but when the Electric Witch came to life in 2012, the electronic noir genre was taken to a new level. Not only could Bentz create intense Nine Inch Nails and Kraftwerk-inspired numbers in the studio, but along with a team of multi-instrumentalist wizards — Steph Bentz, Marcus Mathews and Eric Anderson — the cauldron of sound and fury could be recreated live on stage as well. The ultra-talented Mary Bue has filled in for Mathews since 2014 and adds a distinct brand of clever artistic sorcery.
