Dread Zeppelin

Doors open at 8:00 PM, show begins at 9:00 PM.

Dread Zeppelin = "Led Zeppelin music inna reggae style with an Elvis impersonator." The band has continued to play to die-hard fans and confused faces in crowds around the world for 20 years now. While the make-up of the band has gone through a few member changes, the main forces of the band have remained to reveal new and old sounds, and look for a new generation of Led Zeppelin fans and anti-Led Zeppelin fans. Dread may always be considered to most, purely a novelty act. However, some may argue that unlike a number of those acts, the band's longevity is due to their ability to actually play. On their latest release, "Bar Coda," they manage to step back in time with their camp approach they are known for. Tortelvis, (described as a cross between Vegas-era Elvis, Dracula and Liberace), has made a career of imitating the vocal style and mannerisms of the late Elvis Presley. However, "the times they are a kinda changin'." While Tortelvis still carries some of the Elvis inflections into his own style, the music seems to be more timeless when not reverting to the use of fat, food or drug references, although their use of weaving many songs and riffs together make for laughs of their own.
