Zep Boys head back to Perth in September

Astor Theatre in Perth host the Zep Boys on Friday, 1st September 2023

Vince Contarino - Zep Boys

The full house sign is up two hours before the show, there is a feeling of magic and mystery in the air, the chants of “Zeppelin, Zeppelin, Zeppelin,” can be heard from outside the venue and the nervous energy reaches fever pitch. Well it’s not Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones or John Bonham the people have come to see. In fact, the year is 1986 and the venue is the Findon Hotel in Adelaide and the Zep Boys are about to perform their first show on the Australian Rock Circuit.

Now almost 40 years later, the Zep Boys are still touring the country recruiting Zeppelin fans with note perfect performances of one of the biggest rock band in history… Led Zeppelin.

The show has evolved since the early days of the Zep Boys, Vince Contarino the vocalist says “Our set used to be about 75 minutes, but now with the added acoustic set, the drum solo in Moby Dick, a guitar solo and an extended version of Whole Lotta Love to add to all the classics like Black Dog and Stairway To Heaven plus obscure Zeppelin like Ten Years Gone, Custard Pie and Misty Mountain Hop the entire performance can be two and a half hours long”.

Zeppelin lovers have high expectations when it comes to hearing their favourite songs live… according to the Zep Boys this is one of the reasons the band is still together.

“The challenge of playing Zeppelin never decreases, no matter how many performances we have under our belts, we still get an enormous thrill and great satisfaction delivering the goods to the people that have been coming to see us for almost decades now”.

Since 1986, the Zep Boys have been performing to ecstatic houses throughout Australia. Their popularity has grown to a point where they are now recognised as the most consistent, popular attraction on the Australian touring circuit, performing at many of the major venues throughout the nation & overseas. Led Zeppelin created the magic, the Zep Boys are the vehicle providing those moments.
