Brilliant name it may be, but the four females of Lez Zeppelin aren’t necessarily lesbian: they’re a tribute band smart enough to know that they wouldn’t get anywhere without a snappy name. Lez Zeppelin not only built an audience with that clever name but they’re the only tribute band that’s gotten popular enough to record a full-length album length tribute as well. Producers Perry A. Margouleff and William Wittman guide the band through a note-for-note re-creation of Led Zeppelin I, getting all the inflections and atmosphere right. As a record, it’s a curiosity, something to listen to once and marvel that this quartet rivals the Fab Faux in terms of their chosen tribute but ultimately it’s not much more than excellent advertising for their live gigs. After all, at home you can put on Led Zeppelin I any time but Lez Zeppelin will be coming to your town and on stage is where they’re meant to be heard. © Stephen Thomas Erlewine © 2013 Rovi Corp | All Rights Reserved http://www.allmusic.com/album/lez-zeppelin-i-mw0002024284
Lez Zeppelin are a New York City-based all-girl, all-Zeppelin quartet. Since forming in 2004, the band has received unanimous critical acclaim as one of the most exciting live acts around, becoming the first female rock band to pay homage to Led Zeppelin and to garner rave reviews across the board. Lez Zeppelin has engineered a perfect realization of the rock and roll fantasy and brought it to life. These girls kick out the jams of one of the greatest rock bands ever. Spin Magazine who featured the band on the cover of their June 2005 issue called Lez Zeppelin "the most powerful all female band in rock history" which is open to a lot of argument. However these girls can play and can definitely rock with the best of them. They are not a novelty act and their music is worthy of a lot of respect. The album is HR by A.O.O.F.C. LZ also released a self-titled debut album recorded with legendary producer/engineer Eddie Kramer, best known for his work with Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and KISS; and was mastered by George Marino, who with Jimmy Page digitally remastered all of the original Led Zeppelin recordings [All tracks @ 320 Kbps: File size = 102 Mb]
