ALL FEMALE BLACK SABBATH

“We don’t just want to play Black Sabbath, we want to feel Black Sabbath from the bottom of our hearts.” With this intention, the American all-female formation Black Sabbitch will come to Switzerland for the first time in autumn 2024. The band takes us deep into the 1970s with songs from the early days of the British metal pioneers.

“We are not a tribute band. We are the female Black Sabbath,” says Angie Scarpa, the drummer of Black Sabbitch, confidently. Founded twelve years ago in LA, the musicians do not just want to play Black Sabbath's songs. “Since I have always been a huge fan of the band, I didn’t want to just play covers in another boring ‘Hey, we sound like their records’ combo. It had to feel right from the start. Like it must have felt to see and hear Black Sabbath in 1972.” With their concerts, the ladies manage to instantly transport their fans back to the early seventies. With tracks from their early period when Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward set out from Birmingham to make music history with their innovative, heavy, and dark rock sound. In the summer of 2013, Black Sabbitch played their very first show in West Hollywood. Since then, the quartet has regularly traveled across the USA. In 2022, they expanded their reach to the UK, and this year, for the first time, Wacken and other dates on the European mainland are on the agenda. Black Sabbitch astonishes even die-hard Sabbath devotees and has earned the respect of both critics and musicians alike. They were personally invited by Sharon Osbourne to open for Ozzy, participated in the Kiss Cruise, and were part of Cal Jam with Iggy Pop and the Foo Fighters. Following that, Dave Grohl shared photos of Black Sabbitch on his social media channels and wrote, “We listened to them spellbound.” By now, Black Sabbitch has become true festival favorites, regularly performing with some of the biggest acts in the world and thrilling Sabbath fans at their intense club shows. They often present varying setlists consisting of all-time classics and long-forgotten gems from the defining Ozzy phase of the legends from Birmingham.
