Black Sabbath's
unstoppable
power just seem to
float everyone's boat,
no matter their age or
background. Whether
you grew up with the
lads and saw them at
Birmingham Odeon
in 1977, or only heard
the riff for Paranoid
last week, a touch
of Sabbath gets to
everyone. Toniegh
Knock from JB Hi-FI
Carousel (in Perth,
WA) is no exception.
"I saw them on
their final tour! It
was amazing: Ozzy
Osbourne with his
wobbly walk and
cupped hands: he
was so cute." But Toniegh –
the Music Advisor and Dual
Coordinator at the store – has
wide ranging tastes indeed.
"I'm definitely ecletic, with a
touch of camp. My all time
loves are Black Sabbath and
Lady Gaga." she says. "Throw in
some '90s R&B, Dolly Parton,
The Love Junkies, supported
by Nerve Quakes. From time
to time, Toniegh likes to drag a
store colleague along to
"indie gigs – we're off to
Drowning Horse at the
Rosemount Hotel soon."
As for the Carousel store,
it has the usual varied JB
Hi-Fi demographic – all
ages, all genres. "
"We sell a
lot of classical, a
lot of Andre Rieu.
We definitely have
that older audience
who like a physical
release. But, we also
have loads of music nuts
coming to browse the
vinyl catalogue, which
is really rich and varied.
Vinyl sells really well in
our store, whether it's
new releases or the more
heritage related stuff."
And every now and again
the staff will spot a local music
celeb browsing the racks "One
of the guys from San Cisco
popped in a while ago: he was
just after something he was
into, it's nice to see musicians
who are fans as well."
Kendrick Lamar, bit of punk,
Amy Winehouse, Ghost B.C +
others and that’s where I'm at."
A dyed-in-the wool-music fan,
Toniegh also caught Riff Raff
at Jack Rabbit Slim's in Perth's
Northbridge (she describes him
as "great – brilliantly obnoxious")
and next on her calendar is
