Old school rock and roll to shine in one-night only show
Nostalgia seems to be everywhere at the moment.
Whether it is reminiscing of simpler times before smartphones and the constant 'busyness' we seem to find ourselves in, or just a love of all things retro, a fondness for the past is real.
A group that knows this well is The Zep Boys, a Led Zeppelin tribute band that has been around for five decades, shredding their way across stages worldwide.
Your local paper, whenever you want it.
Describing themselves as 'the ultimate concept band' with frontman Vince Contarino taking centre stage, the group and their band Kashmir Orchestra are unleashing on Crown Theatre on June 21 with their show, Zeppelin Soars Again.
It is a powerful and exhilarating two hours of delicate and hard rock hits with howling vocals, dynamic rhythms and unbridled orchestral majesty, just as the original Led Zeppelin would have wanted.
If belting out the high notes during a five decade successful career were not enough, the Zep Boys have recently been inducted into the Adelaide Festival Centre Walk of Fame, claiming the public choice star.
'I am overwhelmed with gratitude and humility for this wonderful recognition... this is such a special acknowledgement... Rock on!' Contarino said of the award.
The night of nostalgia also includes Belle Hendrik channelling the raw, passionate energy of Janis Joplin, performing hits Mercedes Benz, Piece Of My Heart and Cry Baby amongst others.
A performance that sounds as though it will be peak nostalgia that will honour the 60's Queen of rock and roll.
A significant nod to legends of rock and roll past, with a significant dose of nostalgia, is sure to wow crowds of all ages.

‘Nude model' Dina Broadhurst sells Darling Point home for around $8.4m
Nude model Dina Broadhurst stripped the price guide on her Darling Point home from $11.5m to $8.4m last month, and has now finally scored a buyer just hours before the apartment was due to go under the hammer. Set to go to auction on Thursday, Sydney's eastern suburbs real estate rumour mill has suggested it was snapped up around the amended guide price that afternoon. Broadhurst, who is best known for her strong social media following where her risque self portraits, edgy advertising work and mixed media pieces have earned her a handsome 365,000-strong following on Instagram. Her website suggests her projects focus on desire, sexuality, escapism, memory, fantasy and luxury. Previously, Broadhurst has collaborated with Mercedes Benz, La Prairie, Vogue, Tom Ford, Westfield and Davis Jones. According to title records, the photographer and collector bought 7/22 Etham Ave in 2022 for $5.2 million with her ex-boyfriend, property developer Max Shepherd who is still listed as an owner. Originally listed in November 2024, Broadhurst's three-bedroom home with harbour views has had a number of agents before landing on co-agents David Malouf of Highland Property and Warren Ginsberg of Ray White Double Bay who sealed the deal. Neither agent was willing to confirm with News Corp the exact sale price or purchaser of the blue chip asset. Since 2022, the 280sq m garden unit, which encompasses the whole floor of a duplex mansion in the coveted suburb, has undergone a complete renovation with interiors by StudioJos. Luxe finishes include a dining room with bespoke cocktail bar and wine storage, and Arabescato kitchen, two marble bathrooms, 3.6m high ceilings, wide oak floors, custom cabinetry, a designer gas fireplace and vintage Murano glass wall lights. In April, the designer home featured in Belle Magazine. In addition to the Instagrammable interiors and postcard backdrop overlooking Double Bay, Redleaf Pool and Seven Shillings Beach, the property is positioned on tightly-held Etham ave close to and just a short stroll to McKell Park, Darling Point ferry wharf, Double Bay Village and Edgecliff station. There were suggestions Broadhurst was considering keeping the blue-chip home after previously struggling to sell, but it now looks like she will be in the market for a new pad.

My resurrection took a civilisation, Whitlam and a team of doctors. It cost me $7
As my generation saunters into ageing, we don't do it as adults, so much as like eternal teenagers. I realised this while lining up for the toilet after seeing the latest Led Zeppelin documentary at IMAX — an endless queue of pre- and post-prostate men, aged 50 to 70, desperate to get to the urinal after a two-hour film. The audience was mostly men. The youngest were maybe 35 or 40, apart from a few in their 20s — the pride of their fathers. I don't mind getting old – less pressure to be anything or anyone. And this isn't some self-help or positive affirmation stance – I just care less and less about stuff, and that's good. I am moving closer to mortality, and I try to avoid nostalgia — nostos (home) and algia (illness), literally the sickness of longing for home. Often, a longing for a place that never really existed in one's past. Like being a veteran of Vietnam films. My nostalgia is shallow. I miss parties. The time before I started shrinking to become a nose and ears. And the sense of a never-ending future — the anxiety to 'make it' or 'make a difference' (mainly to me). On the Wednesday before Easter, as I was writing up an interview with Peter Dutton for Greek newspaper Neos Kosmos I started to faint. Dutton wasn't to blame – he was pleasant enough. But I began blacking out, again and again. My wife and son rushed me, despite my protests, to The Austin hospital. We were preparing for Good Friday with her Spanish side, then the Greek Anastasi (or resurrection) with my Greeks. I am not a theist, but I love a tradition. Those that lead to gatherings, parties, revelry, or, like this, renewal and resurrection. In the emergency department, I apparently fainted 15 times. My heart stopped for three seconds. In one session I was transported to a world of saturated colour and surreal images – the Beatles' Yellow Submarine. Not bad – except for the dying bit, but I must say, to paraphrase Zeppelin, it was not my time of dying. They raced me into resuscitation. Tests later showed that my heart was physically fine but misfiring. By Thursday, I had a pacemaker. I resurrected faster than the Nazarene. Easter Sunday, I was walking around, reborn.
