ABOUT THE PEOPLE’S FRONT OF ZEPPELIN
The People’s Front of Zeppelin is the world’s premiere international online Led Zeppelin tribute band. Formed as a YouTube channel in 2019 by drummer George Fludas, guitarist Ivan Jakic, and bassist Pete Etxenike, their inspired and acclaimed videos of Led Zeppelin covers have received hundreds of thousands of views simply through word of mouth. Our performances so honor the sound and spirit of Led Zeppelin that Time Warner frequently mistakes our videos for actual Led Zeppelin records.
At PFoZ, we are committed to faithfully recreating the sound, energy, and spirit of Led Zeppelin. Our mission is not just to play the music of Led Zeppelin, but to celebrate it in every way possible. From our live shows to our video content and beyond, we aim to create an experience that will transport audiences back to the days of Zeppelin’s iconic performances. We believe that the music of Zeppelin is timeless, and we are dedicated to sharing that magic with new generations of fans. But it’s more than just the music; it’s the feeling, the atmosphere, and the connection we build with our audience. We aim to create a concert experience that transports fans back to the golden age of rock, to the days of Zeppelin’s epic live shows where the energy was high, the music was unforgettable, and the audience was part of the magic.
After several years of solely being an online band, in October 2023, PFoZ toured Eastern Europe along with vocalist and frequent contributor Tai Vare. The band was enthusiastically received and is now aiming to perform live in the US. Check out our live videos from Sarajevo here!
P-FoZ has been honored to have some very special guests sit in with us, including Guns N’ Roses founder, Tracii Guns; acclaimed Rod Stewart touring guitarist, Emerson Swinford; and renowned Jimmy Page tribute artist, Jimmy Sakurai. In addition, keyboardists Dan Chase , Carey Frank, and Joey Skoch have also lent the band a hand. We’re also proud to have the support of John Bonham YouTube lecturer Terry Keating, who has a great channel called Bonzoleum.
Ultimate Classic Rock magazine has recognized both the our cover of For Your Life in their article “Presence at 45” as well as our version of Four Sticks in their list of “Top 50 covers from Led Zeppelin IV.” In addition, George received a write up in Rolling Stone magazine about his YouTube channel Bonhamology, where he breaks down the playing of John Bonham.
