LED ZEPPELIN 2, the tribute band featuring bassist Chris Klein, drummer Ian Lee, guitarist Paul Kamp and vocalist Bruce Lamont, recently wrapped up a hugely successful North American tour that hit nearly a month's worth of cities and truly captivated fans with a flawless reenactment of the live improvisation and onstage interaction that earned LED ZEPPELIN their legendary status in the first place.

Rather than a "greatest hits" show, Lamont and co allow fans to experience Zeppelin as Zeppelin would have played in front of an audience. LZ2 sold out venues across the US in 2010 and continued to draw rave reviews for a "spot-on" Zeppelin show, playing deep cuts and classic tracks from the entire catalog, and occasionally entire Led Zeppelin performances from specific dates.

Most widely recognized for his saxophone and vocal work fronting Chicago's YAKUZA, Bruce Lamont has contributed to a plethora of other projects including BLOODIEST, CIRCLE OF ANIMALS and SICK GAZELLE. He's also recorded with SIGN, EAST WEST BLAST TEST, MINSK, NACHTMYSTIUM, RABID RABBIT, BRUTAL TRUTH, CEPHALIC CARNAGE, SWEET COBRA, LOCRIAN, HEX MACHINE and more.

Commented Lamont of the last round of Led Zeppelin 2 dates: "It was an amazing winter run. While every stop was an eye-opener for us, some of the highlights were sold-out shows in first time places like Corpus Christi, Ft. Lauderdale and a massive Austin stop (1200+). San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Portland were also mong our faves (you too Boston, New York and of course sweet home Chicago). We have summer fest dates on the way. Stayed tuned! "

Led Zeppelin 2 will be announcing a string of summer dates in the coming weeks. Stay tuned. In the meantime, check out some live footage of the band from their Chicago performance in January below. And don't forget to visit the band official Facebook page here.
