"DUN DUN." You already know what's happening. "DUN DUN." A cavalcade of snares and cymbals rupture. A whale of a drummer pounds. Two fair-haired boys and a skinny guitar wizard feel the rush of thousands cheering as the quartet launches in "Good Times Bad Times." Sorry, Led Zeppelin fans, but the song does not remain the same. Say hello to Zepparella, an all-female Led Zeppelin tribute band that is eager to give a whole lotta love to Tacoma Saturday. These ladies take Zep's sweaty man-rock and give it a kick in the groin. Zepparella, which has been together since 2004, creates its own individuality by improvising within the framework of the original songs. Roberta Plant, Page Jimmy, Joan-Paula Jones and Johanna Bonham should be their stage names. The band is that good. {WV}
