Ozzy the Coverband

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
The band was formed only for one gig at the current guitar player Morgan Zoceks pool party. The idea of the band was to play Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath songs. The lineup at the time was; on drums: Tor Pentén (former sideburn drummer), Fredrik Zachrisson-guitar (the singers brother), Martin Karlsson-current bassplayer, Morgan Zocek-current guitarplayer and Marcus Rubin-current vocalist. The band name was changing from Ozzy albums and songs, such as -"Blizzard of Ozz" to "Ozzmosis" + other names we don..t remember due to different circumstances. After that gig it took more than 1 year to start all over again.
In November of 2003 the band was reformed for a gig at The Pub Anchor bar in Stockholm. The diffrence in the line-up was that Morgan wasn't in the band and Fredrik was the only guitar player + Tor was replaced by drummer Yngve Stromberg, who arnt part of the band anymore.
Now everything was falling into place, besides one thing, the name of the band. Then all of a sudden Marcus came up with the name Ozzy The Coverband. The name itself was so bad that it was good, we thought. The first time we heard the band name on the radio we laughed are asses of and after that we couldn't change it to something else. In 2004 Fredrik left the band to pursue his dream of being a pilot and the only choice we had, regarding the guitar position, was to bring back Morgan to the band.
In 2005 we played at The battle of the tribute bands who was arranged by the Swedish radio station Rockklassiker. At that time we also had a Keyboard player by the name of Dimitry Keiski,(now in Insania). Over 260 tribute bands had showed there interest and the jury picked out 5 for the final at the Sweden Rock Festival. When the smoke had cleared Ozzy The Coverband were declared winner and best swedish tribute band.
To this date we have played all over Sweden, in Finland and in Italy. We also intend to bring the show around the world so everybody can discover the sights, the sounds and the madness of Ozzy The Coverband.
