A BIT of old school rock came to the Whitestar Hotel on Saturday night as live music lovers took refuge from the cold with the offerings from local band Trash Pandah and Perth’s tribute to Black Sabbath – The Sorcerers.
Trash Pandah warmed the crowd with their eclectic set of alternative rock covers.
There were b-sides galore as veteran frontman and live music rustler Geoff Scott led the band through a powerhouse 45-minute set.
The newly-minted rhythm section of band-backstay Tim Jeffs and freshly- ordered bass player Andrejs van Burgel was more than worth the cost of free entry.
They were dynamite, and apparently there was a young-gun guitarist for hire on stage too.
For such a young musician, it appears Mitchell Page has spent an awful lot of time hunched over his axe, learning to shred. For all the notes he played (there were a lot), none fell awkwardly to the floor.
With Trash Pandah’s ripping set done and dusted, The Sorcerers set their tassles loose.
It was wall-to-wall Sabbath (this was not the time or the place to request Ozzy Osbourne solo tracks – sorry.)
War Pigs, Iron Man, Paranoid – the lot – done to perfection, with just the right amount of gimmickry to back up the bona fide ability to do Black Sabbath justice.
