WITCH drummer Punky Peru and vocalist Peter Wabitt first worked together in the group AMPAGE in 1979. The pair split from that outfit a year later to form DAMIEN with former W.A.S.P. / DANTE FOX and GREAT WHITE bassist Don Costa. However, Costa was hired by OZZY OSBOURNE and DAMIEN folded.
During 1982 Wabitt and Peru hooked up together once more, enlisting guitarist Ronny Too and ex MESSENGER and JEKYLL & HYDE bassist Jim Warmon, to create the Glam Metal band WITCH. The original intention had been to call the group SAVAGE, but the existence of the British NWoBHM band of the same name forced the quartet to have other ideas.
WITCH debuted in 1984 with the mini album 'The Hex Is On' before Peter Wabitt left the ranks and Punky Peru drafted in a female singer before the group fell apart and the drummer spent a stint in jail.
A WITCH resurrection occurred in 1988 when a 12" single, 'Nobody Sleeps', surfaced. The new incarnation of the group included Peru and bassist Jim Warmon alongside LITA FORD keyboard player David Ezrin. In fact, Peru and Ezrin co-wrote the track 'Fatal Passion' on a LITA FORD album of the period.
