Zappa Plays Zappa

Hi Guys,

Just thought that I'd share my latest good news. I saw yesterday evening that Dweezil Zappa plays Zappa are touring this year and also that they were visiting Newcastle on the UK leg of the tour. I was initially disappointed that I had no money at the moment go get the ticket and that they'd sell out by the time I got round to having the funds, my mum just phoned me to tell me she's bought a ticket for me doing so well at college.

I'm so hyped up now, cannot wait! Frank died the year I was born and the Zappa plays Zappa tour seem to get incredibly close, has anyone been to any of the shows? Would love to know what the atmosphere and show are like.

Jamie

I've been to their show in Lausanne last year and it was really good. They are amazing players and you won't be disappointed if you're a fan of the original songs, this is not a hollywood-remake of some asian cinema masterpiece..
And they are very humble despite their talent.

Not quite the same thing, but if you are a Zappa fan, there is going to be a big Zappa performance as a part of the Ojai Music festival (about an hour and a half outside of LA) a week from Friday. The Ensemble Modern from Frankfurt Germany will be in town for the festival and they were the group that recorded the Yellow Shark and Greggery Peccary and Other Persuasions. They'll be playing selections from each of those albums live.

It is a rare opportunity to see a live performance of Zappa's "classical" music.
