About Black Sabbitch - A Tribute to Black Sabbath
Black Sabbitch stands as one of the most respected and powerful tribute acts on the circuit, dedicated to honouring the unparalleled legacy of Black Sabbath. Hailing from Los Angeles, this all-female quartet has garnered critical acclaim for their uncanny ability to capture the original band’s dark, heavy essence and groundbreaking sound. They don’t just play the songs; they embody the spirit of Sabbath with a ferocity and precision that has won over even the most ardent purists.
Their style is a meticulous recreation of early Sabbath, focusing on the Ozzy Osbourne era, delivering those signature doom-laden riffs and psychedelic undertones with exceptional skill. Expect to hear blistering renditions of foundational tracks that shaped an entire genre, from the monstrous “Iron Man” and the anthemic “Paranoid” to the haunting “War Pigs” and the sludgy depths of “N.I.B.” Black Sabbitch’s current lineup, featuring the powerhouse vocals of Alice Marie, the scorching guitar work of Melanie Makai, the thunderous bass lines of Emily Moon, and the relentless drumming of Sarah “The Destroyer” Jones, ensures an authentic and utterly captivating experience. Their commitment to the music is palpable, making every performance a powerful tribute to the masters of metal.

Its history as a hub for live music, spanning rock, electronic, and hip-hop, has cemented its reputation as a cornerstone of Edinburgh’s music scene. The raw, exposed brickwork and low ceilings contribute to a gritty, authentic atmosphere that feels tailor-made for the heavy sounds of Black Sabbath. In terms of accessibility, the ground floor is generally accessible for patrons with mobility needs, and staff are always on hand to assist where possible, making it a welcoming space for all music lovers.
