SAZ are an original music, female fronted,
heavy metal (old skool style), kick ass, Scottish
rock band. We have been gigging around Scotland since 1999 and loving every minute.
SAZ was born in 1998 inspired by punk rock and 80's heavy metal. A gigging
version of the band was formed in 1999 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.

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 Richy, "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 300 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. Marina 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!"

Another highlight has to be our support
slot with Maiden Scotland and Paul Dianno at the
Doghouse (Sat 11th June 2005). Maiden Scotland must
be the best tribute band we've ever supported and an
obvious choice for Paul Dianno's backing band when
touring in Scotland. They have a superb vocalist
themselves and have the Maiden material down to a
tee. Paul Dianno lives up to all expectations and is
still very much a force to be reckoned with. It
turned out to be one of our best gigs yet! Cheers
guys!

In 2007 we completed shooting a promotional
video for the track "Gotta Get A Grip". In 2009 we
had live video shot at an outdoor festival.
In 2006/07/08 and 2012/16/17
we made appearances at Kirriemuir's Bonfest...a
yearly week-end festival celebrating all things
AC/DC. Kirriemuir is Bon Scott's home town as it is
Kev The Rev's and we are always honoured to take
part.
Today, in 2022, we are gigging as often
as possible and have now been on the road and
living the dream for over twenty years and
it's all down to a love of rock music and playing
it live...thanks to everyone who has supported us
over the years.
