Tributosaurus Meets Sabbath

By Chuck Sudo in Arts & Entertainment on Nov 2, 2010 4:40PM

Those musical chameleons in Tributosaurus are tapping into the dark side with their gig tomorrow night at Martyr's. They'll be channeling the deep dark sludge of Black Sabbath. They're promising to keep the mimicry limited to the Ozzy years (before he was neutered by Sharon), when Ozzy was more petty thief and punk than Prince of Darkness, Tony Iommi's handmade fingertips (he lost his in a sheet metal press accident) kept slipping off, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward made for a rhythm section worthy of starting a war, and the group was coked to the gills making songs like "Spiral Architect," "Into the Void," and "Sweet Leaf." They'll also dip their toes into the wading pool of the Ronnie James Dio Sabbath years, but the "Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi" era is being rightfully ignored.

Tributosaurus Becomes Black Sabbath, 7 and 10 p.m. tomorrow night at Martyr's (3855 N. Lincoln Ave.). Tickets available at Martyrslive.com.
