This is not Unchained. These guys are great musicians in their regular projects and when they get together for these Zeppelin shows at BK Bowl and other festivals/venues it's a great time.
I think a bustling mod is tinkering - it says "itrainmonkeys, itrainmonkeys, and 2 others" like this. When you click on it, it just shows itrainmonkeys.
ps: just kidding about the tinkering, I know there's a kink in the like system right now.

Does anyone else feel like they purposely went out and found themselves the best cover band in the world just so they can prove themselves right about having cover bands?

I don't consider these guys a cover band. They aren't trying to recreate Led Zep songs - they're reinterpreting them. A Led Zep cover band would have vocals.

"Bustle in your Hedgerow - a lyric pulled from the Led Zeppelin epic "Stairway to Heaven", puts on sporadic shows showcasing only Zep tunes. But don't call them a tribute band. Joe Russo, Marco Benevento, Dave Dreiwitz, and Scott Metzger channel Led Zeppelin's songs with such passion and energy, you would swear they are their own songs."

This is huge add for me. I love the Duo and saw them once in Vail Colorado when they did a block of Zeppelin tunes. It was fantastic. These are amazing musicians who will be jamming some very interesting interpretations. Go check this out people.

I just hope, for the sake of sanity, they do not close out a tent late night. There will be enough unfair Unchained comparisons and these guys are legit.

Is their show like one big sing-a-long or does everyone just kinda chill and watch them play? My first reaction was "Ok Zeppelin cover band...but whos singing?" Now I realize its much more then that im looking forward to the show.

The shows I've seen haven't been singalongs. They really take songs and stretch them out so they can jam on it longer than most of the studio recordings. Typically instrumental (again, just the shows I've seen) but they definitely won me over. I supposed someone could come out and sing some stuff but I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a couple of Zeppelin tunes played by these four guys.

Anywhere I can listen to these guys besides youtube? I tried spotify and itunes, but no luck. I realize they're basically a zeppelin cover/jam band, but didn't know if they actually had anything available I could purchase.

As Bustle in your Hedgerow I don't believe they have any stuff you can purchase (that I know of). You could certainly check out some of their original material but it won't be the same stuff they are playing at Roo. For now I think youtube is your best bet. There are a few tracks on Myspace too: www.myspace.com/bustle
