DundeeDUNDEE LIVE - BANDS TO WATCH!!
SAZ are an original music, female fronted, heavy metal (old skool style), kick ass, Scottish rock band. We have been gigging around Scotland for six years and loving every minute. The concept of SAZ was born in 1977 with the advent of Punk Rock and became more fully formed during those heady days of the "new wave of british heavy metal". A gigging version of the band was formed in 1998 and had a distinctly rock/pop sound, which, with time, and band member changes, evolved into today's "hard hitting" rock sound with powerful melodic vocals.
When asked about the long awaited album, Kev says, "We've recorded a lot of material over the past year and have guitar, bass, drums and backing vocal parts all in place. Our new lead vocalist Nikki will be in the recording studio the moment she has a few gigs under her belt.
One of the highlights for the band was a support slot with up and coming rock band, Torquamada, at "King Tuts" in Glasgow. "We were really nervous about this one" recalls Ritchie, "We were the first on out of four bands, which meant going on at 8.30pm in a city who didn't know us from adam, so we really didn't expect a crowd, let alone a good response. As it turned out, we played to audience of 250 and they really seemed to get into what we do and the buzz was terrific!"
One of the biggest gigs for us so far was supporting BLAZE (former front man with "Iron Maiden") at "The Doghouse" in Dundee. Nicky recalls, "Ian Whyte (Dundee based club manager and music promoter) really helped us there. He knew that members of the band were "Maiden" fans and thought we were up to the job and gave us a chance.. It turned out be a great night for us and "Blaze", who were superb!"
