Castle, Order of the Gash, Holy Grove

[PERCUSSION VALKYRIE] Tom Tom Magazine take note: At the ripe age of 21, drummer Rae Amitay graduated from the Berklee School of Music with two degrees in three years. She then immediately cut her teeth on the pro circuit as the latter-day half of the critically acclaimed duo Mares of Thrace. More recently, Amitay has been pounding the skins for San Francisco-based “witch thrash” trio Castle, helping that hard-working group stay on the road during a Spinal Tap-esque bout of exploding drummer syndrome. Rae’s heart remains closest to her personal project Thrawsunblatt, which dropped a new disc earlier this month. Here’s a chance to catch a major talent during her formative years.
