VERONA — Lez Zeppelin will bring a whole lotta rock and roll to the stage at 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 7 in the Showroom at Turning Stone Resort Casino, 5218 Patrick Road.

“We are going to let you have it,” promised lead guitarist Steph Paynes. “We are going to give it our all, with all of the heavy hitters you expect plus some deep tracks as well.”

Founded in 2004 by Paynes, the New York City-based quartet is a female tribute group that gives no quarter in their faithful versions of the original Led Zeppelin classics from across the ocean. The song remains the same as the group captures the ferocity of the original rockers, taking the Showroom audience onto a stairway to heaven with an all-girls, all-Zeppelin experience.

Paynes is joined by lead vocalist Marlain Angelides, bassist/keyboardist Joan Chew and drummer Caitlin Kalafus, whose pounding rendition of “Moby Dick” will leave audiences trampled under foot.

It was the combination of the key elements of the dynamics, the power and the “it” factor that drew her to the music of Led Zeppelin and guitarist Jimmy Page, Paynes recalled.

“He was just so prodigious and reveling in the many different styles he played,” she complimented. “Most guitarists concentrate on one thing they really do great but he could do so many. He had such a wide palette that his guitar playing became a great master lesson for a guitar player to learn.”

Although the original music is learned note for note, it becomes their own as they play it live, Paynes said.

“Even as I got into his style and worked diligently to learn the songs it become natural for me to play like that,” she explained. “I know the songs so well now they have become a part of me - when I relax and get into the music now what comes out is a mixture of his playing and my playing.”

Lez Zeppelin released their own self-titled, eight-song album featuring six Led Zeppelin classics and two original instrumentals in the Led Zeppelin style in 2007. They followed that with a complete reincarnation of the original “Led Zeppelin I” album in 2010.

Their latest album “The Island of Skyros” was released in 2019 and features six more Zeppelin covers on both CD and vinyl. The title refers to the Greek mythology of Achilles and the song “Achilles Last Stand” is included, Paynes intimated.

Her favorite songs to play are usually the most recent ones they’ve learned, she admitted. They recently performed the full “Physical Graffiti” album live and a recreation of a concert from 1975 so they had to work on some tunes there they don’t usually play. She enjoys the deep tracks like “Down by the Seaside,” which isn’t really a favorite for Paynes to listen to but is a favorite to play, she said.

They do play the heavy hitters like “Rock and Roll,” “Whole Lotta Love,” “Kashmir” and, of course, “Stairway to Heaven” - a classic so well-known and so intricate that the band actually tried dropping it from the set at one point to the ire of their fans, Paynes recalled.

And they might all be of the female gender, but this isn’t any poppy girls’ music group, she stressed.

“Some people have been skeptical that women can play this music with the absolute power and sexual force of the original Led Zeppelin,” Paynes assessed. “I’m throwing down the gauntlet. I think we are the most powerful band out there right now playing Led Zeppelin music.”
