The Purple Zeppelins[Classic 70's Rock, 5 piece]
 Get the Flash Player to see these images.
The Purple Zeppelins are a great rock covers band who formed in October 2004. They are based in the Reading/Wokingham area, but aren't frightened to travel, & they have a rapidly growing fan base.
As can probably be gathered from their name, they play the music of both Deep Purple & Led Zeppelin, trying to get as close to the originals as possible, while adding their own subtle little touches here and there.
They also have the odd Whitesnake number in their set lists as a tribute, not only to another great rock band of that era, but also to the core members of Deep Purple, who went on to form the back-bone of this band.

 Rockin' at The Rising Sun Rising Sun, Slough on Fri 31st Mar 06 | |
  The audience in The Rising Sun were waiting with bated breath on Friday night, just to see what this band were all about.
With a name like The Purple Zeppelins, these guys had a lot to live up to, and believe me, they did it.
A 5 piece line up consisting of: Dave - Vocals, Gareth - Guitar, Richard - Bass Guitar, Dennis - Keyboards & Ashley - Drums. Oh! and not forgetting the all important sound engineer Mike, these guys punched out two great sets.
Although none of its members look anything like the originals, and to their credit, they don't even try to, their sound is pretty close.
Starting with a couple of Whitesnake numbers, Here I Go Again, and Fool For Your Lovin', just to warm the audience up a little, they then cracked into the true nature of the band, good ole' Led Zepp & Deep Purple.
Cranking out classic numbers, such as Black Night, Hush, Communication Breakdown, Stairway To Heaven etc, with awsomely good vocals, superb guitar solos, and great keyboard, bass & drum work, by the end of the night these guys had the crowd eating out of their hands.
And finally, with unbelievable versions of Whole Lotta' Love and Smoke On The Water as an encore, they blew everyone away.
To summarise, a very good rock covers band, with a great overall sound, and superb vocals.
If I owned a pub/club, I would have no hesitation in booking them - I can't believe that larger venues haven't snapped them up already - good luck for the future guys. | |

| [Wed 9th Jan 08] hiya, I saw you playing at the Duke of Cornwall, Slough. Shame about the venue and the locals. I thought you did a sterling job and I look forward to seeing you playing at a better venue. Any plans to visit the Rising Sun in Slough in the future? \paul - paul evans | | Reply from The Purple Zeppelins: Hi Paul, & thanks for taking the time to come & see us, & for your message.
Not too sure about the Rising Sun, but you can stay updated on this web site...cheers The PZ | |
