Lez Zeppelin, the all female, all Zepp tribute band who soulfully embody the sexual hedonism and musical grace of the original, are about to release their debut album – the self-titled, Lez Zeppelin, recorded with legendary producer/engineer Eddie Kramer (LED ZEPPELIN, Jimi Hendrix, KISS) , mastered by George Marino, and set to drop on July 10th. The ladies of Lez solidly established their sound in hometown, NYC, so now it’s time to live out the rock and roll lifestyle of the road tour. They will chart a path across the US, including a whirlwind European tour thrown in the middle to keep things fresh. These mammas are gonna make you sweat, they’re gonna make you move, groove, and loove the Lez Z!

i feel speechless, so for now, i will simply let the official press release do the talking :

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.”

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.

In addition to channeling, they have also straight hired George Marino, who worked closely with Jimmy Page to digitally remaster all of the original Led Zeppelin recordings. Marino mastered the upcoming Lez Zeppelin album that will be released on Emanation Records.

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.
