Lez Zeppelin

Website »

Since forming in 2004, Lez Zeppelin has gained unanimous critical acclaim as one of the most exciting live acts around, becoming the first female rock act to pay homage to Led Zeppelin and to garner rave reviews across the board.

Their self-titled album was 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.

Lez Zeppelin stays true to the musically audacious spirit of the original, delivering the legendary rock band’s blistering arrangements and monstrous sound note-for-note at sold-out shows across the country. The thing that sets them apart, however, is the seamless and unique way Lez Zeppelin inject their gender-bending performance into the original material.

Profiled in Spin, managing editor and author Chuck Klosterman proclaimed that Lez Zeppelin could be “the most powerful all-female band in rock history.” Bob Stanley of The Times of London raved, “They are the best band I’ve seen all year, no question,” and CNN.com recently ran a front page feature that called the group so “electrifying” they are “driving club audiences to a frenzy.”

Channeling Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham are: Sarah McLellan on vocals; Steph Paynes on electric and acoustic guitar and Theremin; Lisa Brigantino on bass, keyboards and mandolin; and Helen Destroy on drums.

For those skeptics who still dare to ask if four women pull off the exuberant, powerful and musically intricate performances for which Led Zeppelin was known, a Lez Zeppelin show is nothing short of a revelation.
