Big news! My Idol Robert Plant ( lead vocalist for Led Zeppelin!) came out and hear our band at Wrangler's in Carencro.....yes, Wrangler's! Our band was in awe and could not believe that the singer for the biggest Rock band ever was actually sitting in Wrangler's to hear the Zydeco Kingpins! It was an experience that doesn't happen often in one's life to meet such a huge star and have him compliment the band as he did! Get this...Robert Plant purchased Vibrator and Booty Call thongs, shirts and nearly every piece of merchandise we had including CD's! He was a very humble guy and gave us great advice on our band and I still didn't sleep since then!(ha)

Thanks to C.C Adcock for making this happen! C.C told me that Robert Plant may be coming hear our group and as flattering as it sounded to me I kept saying to myself...yeah right, Robert Plant will come hear the Zydeco Kingpins at Wrangler's in Carencro (ha)!

Well, sure enough they showed up and there he was the greatest Rock singer of all time sitting there hearing our group! When we thought we had saw it all he actually got up and started dancing and actually stayed all night and danced and partied! He gave us huge compliments and in his own words said the band was "hipnotic" and also "romantic", his biggest advice was to simply do what we do and not change one thing!

Robert Plant is a huge fan of our local music ranging from Swamp Pop, Zydeco to New Orleans style music and I didn't realize how big a fan he was of the music until hearing him talk to us and about our music and seeing him really get into the music and not just a compliment that had to be said out of respect.

We got to hear him sing also the night before in New Orleans with "Little Band of Gold" and his voice was unbelievable to hear such a great singer live in front of you that close up! I wanted to hear two singers live and one was Elvis and that will never happen but the other was Robert Plant and the experience was unbelievable!

I will put pics here of Robert Plant at Wrangler's 4-22-07 and also some from Tipatina's in New Orleans 4-21-07.

Enjoy!
