Following the success of his Led Zeppelin tribute earlier in 2018, renowned SA drummer and musician Jason Oosthuizen is bringing another of his offerings, the Guns N’ Roses & Friends Tribute Show, to Port Elizabeth on December 28.
Besides Oosthuizen, the killer lineup for this tribute show includes Clint Falconer from Dan Patlansky’s band, Werner Bosman from Jesse Clegg (who also starred in the Led Zeppelin show), Stean van der Walt on vocals and Heine van der Walt from Boargazm. A past drummer for celebrated SA bands Van Coke Cartel and Lost&Found, Oosthuizen swapped his drumsticks for a Gibson electric guitar and mic as frontman for a new band called Oooth in September. He has written, recorded and produced most aspects of the Oooth project himself. Oosthuizen has also done session and live work for Jack Parow, Fokofpolisiekar, Die Heuwels Fantasties, The Narrow and Albert Frost, among other career highlights.
Oooth's debut album, Who Cares What You Think, was released in November, and was promoted during a live tour of the Eastern Cape and Garden Route this past week, with one more show still to be held at the Music Kitchen in Port Elizabeth on Saturday. Besides the Led Zeppelin and Guns N’ Roses tributes, Oosthuizen was also the creator of an AC/DC vs Deep Purple tribute in 2018. All of the shows featured SA music legends and were very well received across the country. Guns N’ Roses & Friends promises to deliver the ultimate night of rock and roll with some of the greatest hits from Guns N’ Roses, Whitesnake, DeepPurple, Journey, ZZ Top, Billy Idol, Ozzy Osbourne and others.
Catch Oooth on Saturday at 7pm at the Music Kitchen in Mangold Street, Newton Park. Entrance is R70 and tickets are at Quicket.
