Thurs. Nov. 2

Some ideas seem so obvious once someone points them out to you. Like Lez Zeppelin: an all-female, New York-based quartet playing the songs of the most macho of macho bands - well, some of the time - Led Zeppelin. There are those who think this is the ultimate male fantasy - never mind the Suicide Girls. Brooke Gengras, who takes the stage as Roberta Plant, says, "It's funny and it's a schtick that it's an all-girl band, but really we just truly love Led Zeppelin." You can check 'em out at lezzeppelin.com or go to the Middle East Downstairs Thursday Nov. 2, where they're playing with the opener, Bad Jamie. Show starts at 9. Tickets: $20.
