“Like jamming with Zeppelin, Hendrix, Nirvana and Queen’s Of The Stone Age… at an all night party in South London!!“Do you ever wonder where all the great rock bands have gone? Not the good bands the GREAT bands, Rock bands that is. You ever long for the type of band that makes you wanna shout, scream, jump up in the air and throw things out of the window! A band that makes you want to put your middle finger up whose choruses just keep going round and round in your head, that when they’re playing you make your friends jealous if you can see them and they can’t? SABATTA are that band.Background Formed in 2005, The band consists of Yinka – Vocals, Hugo – Bass and Oli – Drums.
