Hailed as the world's greatest tribute band, I reckon they will be so loud you'll hear them from your place!
Founded in 2004 by New York guitarist Steph Paynes, the all-girl quartet has since gained critical acclaim, becoming the first female rock act to pay homage to Led Zeppelin.
Lez Zeppelin stays true to the spirit of the original, delivering the legendary rock band's blistering arrangements and monstrous sound note-for-note at sold-out shows around the world.
The group's second LP, Lez Zeppelin I, is an authentic re-make of Led Zeppelin's first album, using the very same vintage equipment employed by the band in 1968.
SPIN Magazine called them "the most powerful all-female band in rock history."
Saturday, The Ramblers @ Palais Hepburn

Saturday, Buck Jr @ Blue Bean Cafe
Sunday, Jazz Deuce @ Blue Bean Cafe
Featuring Norm Gray on flugelhorn and vocals and Simon Wigney on guitar, the duo plays the great American jazz standards of the 30s through to the 50s.
Tunes made popular by Sinatra, Gershwin, Rodgers and Hart and Jobim provide a nice background to wining, dining romancing and relaxing.
Jo Jo Smith and Lucie Thorne @ Bridge Hotel, Castlemaine
Jo Jo Smith is one of Australia's greatest musical treasures. A soul-singing, groove-driving tour de force, whodrops jaws and melts hearts with every performance.
Across her 50-year career Jo Jo Smith has worked with the cream of the crop, and her capacity to move her listeners through tears and joy with the power of music is stronger than ever.

Lucie is one of my favourite artists, a frequent visitor to the area. A must-see, if you haven't caught her already. Her latest work from 2015, Everything Sings Tonight is probably Lucie's best work.
It will be a delight to see Lucie in this intimate setting, where she will feature selections from her impressive body of work and her exquisite guitar skills on Loretta, her 1966 Guild Starfire.
