Lez Zeppelin is an all-female tribute act, performing the work of Led Zeppelin.〔McClintock, J. Scott.(Lez Zeppelin ), Allmusic〕 ==History== In June, 2005, Chuck Klosterman wrote an article for SPIN Magazine that featured Lez Zeppelin as a leading protagonist in a trend of all-female hard rock “tribute” bands. He referred to the group “the most powerful all-female band in rock history” and described the rise of bands like Lez Zeppelin as a “kind of multilayered cultural phenomenon.” .〔Klosterman, Chuck. ''She’s Got Big Balls''. SPIN, June 2005, p. 25.〕 Stories about the group appeared in the Times of London, whose journalist called the band “the best new band I’ve seen all year, no question;” Reuters and CNN.com.,〔''Lez Zeppelin: A Band that Flips the Page''. (Reuters) CNN.com, Jan. 30, 2006, p. 1.〕 which ran a front page feature that called the group so “electrifying” they are “driving club audiences to a frenzy.” In April 2007, after touring in the US and Europe the band released its first album, Lez Zeppelin, which was produced by Eddie Kramer, former recording engineer on several Led Zeppelin albums. In the wake of this release, the band was invited at festivals including the Download Festival in the UK; Rock am Ring and Rock im Park in Germany; and the Voodoo Festival in New Orleans. The announcement in February 2008, that Lez Zeppelin would take the stage at the Bonnaroo Festival, was incorrectly reported by some news organizations, which stated that ''Led Zeppelin'' was to perform.〔Harris, Chris. ''Led Zeppelin’s Bonnaroo Controversy Might Be Lez Zeppelin’s ‘Stairway to Success’''. MTV News, Feb. 7 2008.〕 Throughout 2008, the group continued to tour in the U.S. and in the late fall made its first visit to Japan to promote the release of its debut record. In March 2009, Lez Zeppelin played a benefit concert in Mumbai.〔Datta, Pronoti. ''Aquatar, drumclouds, shower music on city''. INDIA TIMES, March 21, 2009, p. 4.〕 In 2010, the band headed back into the studio to record a second album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lez Zeppelin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
