INTERVIEW: DAVE HARRISON, BLACK STEEL – March 2018

INTERVIEW: DAVE HARRISON, BLACK STEEL – March 2018
By Shane Pinnegar

Any conversation about the Western Australian heavy music scene will always include bands like Allegiance and Black Steel: both pioneers in their field and hugely popular around town and far beyond.

Dave Harrison played bass in both bands, and is reforming Black Steel for a very special headlining performance at Stormrider Festival, being held at Badlands Bar on April 7.

Black Steel released two albums and one EP between 1999 and 2006, as well as supporting the likes of Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Metallica and Zakk Wylde’s Black Label Society. Harrison, who also runs successful online store, Heavy Metal Merchants, says that the classic Black Steel line-up – himself, guitarist Jaime Page, vocalist Matt Williams, drummer Damien Petrelli, rounded out with new boy, Silent Knight guitarist Stu McGill – have remained friends since the band went on hiatus, so a reunion was easy to organise.
