Get ready to hear immaculate Led Zeppelin renditions!
Irving Plaza and Blender Theatre Oct 31 and nov 1 2008
Led Blimpie has been rocking the Zep since 2005.
Thier mission is to bring the fully orchestrated studio versions of the Zeppelin catalog to the stage MASHED together with the excitement and energy of playing Led Zeppelin LIVE!
These guys don't dress up so dont expect a look-a-like show. With a singer that also plays guitar and harmonica and a regular cast of guest performers, the members of this band are no mere impersonators.
Singer, Sean sings Robert Plant like no one else. Not an imitator or a screamer, he captures all of Plants dynamic range by making the songs his own. From the soft, melodious verses in Going to California to the grand, wailing crescendos in Whole Lotta Love, Sean nails it every time. The fact that he is an amazing guitar player as well, allows Led Blimpie (along with lead guitarist, Thor) to bring the multi-layered guitar army to the stage in their live shows. Something even Led Zeppelin didn't do!
Lead guitarist, Thor Fields has been studying the Jimmy Page repertoire for over 20 years. His renditions are deadly accurate. Whether he's playing one of the 7 or so guitar tunings, the mandolin or even the Theremin, Thor has somehow captured the genius of Page's style and made it look easy.
Essential to the purpose of the band, Led Blimpie's rhythm section has an extra guy! Just as two guys are needed to play all of the Jimmy Page guitars, Raph(Bass) and Thomas(Keyboards) cover all of the John Paul Jones parts.
Bassist, Raphael holds down the bottom with great confidence and groove. His laid back style and bluesy renderings could be considered the calm in the eye of the storm. In stark contrast to the exuberant performances of the other members, Raph's magnificent playing helps to keep it tight but loose.
Keyboardist, Thomas
doesn’t just tickle the ivories...he pounds on them! Clavinet, Hammond B3, Werlitzer, Piano...he recreates the classic sounds at will. A virtual encyclopedia of music, Thomas blends the jazz and the funk with his interminable rock and roll spirit.
Drummer, Mathieu is one of the hardest-hitting, in-the-pocket, rock-solid drummers you will ever hear! 'nuff said.
Led Blimpie always gets the crowd going. Shows can range in duration from 1 to 4 hours. The band has been known to take request after request and often encourages the audience to sing-a-long on such classics as Black Dog and The Ocean.
