Physical Graffiti, the epic double-album released by Led Zeppelin in February 1975, is perhaps the most beloved and magical of all of their recordings. Simply put, it is the album EVERYONE wants to hear. Lez Zeppelin presents Physical Graffiti from start to finish in all of its majesty and diversity to celebrate the 50 year anniversary of its release. From the mysticism of Kashmir to the rockin’ funk of Trampled Underfoot to the progressive elegance of Ten Years Gone, Lez Zeppelin delivers passionate, note-for-note renditions of all 15-songs. Accompanied by a provocative and uniquely curated multimedia presentation, this full-length, immersive experience digs deep into the heart and soul of one of rock’s greatest albums.
Founded in 2004 by New York guitarist, Steph Paynes, the all-girl quartet, Lez Zeppelin, has since 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. 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 frenzied shows around the world. In June, 2013, Jimmy Page attended their show in London and said of the group, “they played the Led Zeppelin music with an extraordinary sensuality and an energy and passion that highlighted their superb musicianship.”
The thing that sets Lez Zeppelin apart is the seamless and unique way they inject their gender-bending performance into the original material. they have been featured on major television including the BBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, MTV, VH-1, FOX and radio shows worldwide, such as SiriusXM and NPR. The group’s first studio album, Lez Zeppelin, was produced by legendary producer/engineer, Eddie Kramer (Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix). The group’s second lp, Lez Zeppelin I, is an authentic re-make of Led Zeppelin’s first album, using the very same vintage equipment employed by the band in 1968. Lez Zeppelin also recorded a holiday song, Mystic Snowman, a wry mash-up of Stairway and Frosty The Snowman. All records are distributed throughout the United States, Japan and Europe.
Since Lez Zeppelin’s formation, the group has broken both glass and class ceilings. Whether it’s playing on catwalk above times square for 40,000, or on the main stage at Bonnaroo, Hellfest and the Isle Of Wight; flying to India for a benefit concert for ambulances or taking the stage – twice! — at Madison Square Garden, it’s clear that the unique power, personality and magical force of Lez Zeppelin is far beyond that of a “tribute” act.
