If 'Zeppelin' (or indeed 'Sabbath') is a euphemism for some deviant occupation, then it's 'Is'.

If we're talking about bands, then it's 'Are'.


Don't Americans refer to bands in the singular? I think it's actually gramatically correct. I'm an English Language nerd and I see nothing wrong in the statement, "The Brighouse & Rastrick Brass Band is playing tonight."

Although having said that, I can't be that much of a nerd, because I couldn't really give a fuck either way. Mind you, confusing 'less' with 'fewer' and 'number' with 'amount' I will draw the line at. And people who say 'haitch' instead of 'aitch'.
