Right on, P/O is where it is at.  I have seen them a bunch of times and are always sick.  I'm going to check out a few shows on this tour, do see them if you havent yet.  Ike, Napoleon, and Preston on this tour, Woo Hoo!

I'll never see P\O, but if I was in a Fz cover band, I know I would open with Titties & Beer.  I'd get someone else to dress up as the devil tho.

Went to see a portuguese band ZAPPANOIA and it was cool. They were very honest. FZ's music is a school and a treat for good musicianship... I take my hat to anyone willing and having the nerve to play Zappa music... Long live FZ tribute bands...<br>They will play at zappanale14<br>http://zappanoia.no.sapo.pt

Sadly, that doesn't surprise me a bit.<br><br>I've discussed with friends that if someone were to start a Lynyrd Skynrd tribute band around here, they could probably get gigs 3 nights a week on a steady basis.<br><br>I'm happy to at least be able to sneek a couple of Zappa songs in when I play out. I'd LOVE to get a full band together and do one full set of my FZ favorites. I'd probably even do it for free, just to have the opportunity to do it.

[quote author=MentalTossFlycoon link=board=zappaning;num=1035463475;start=0#6 date=11/16/02 at 04:51:00]I have no desire to see a Zappa tribute band. Next there will be Zappa impersonators, Zappa stamps, and infomercials for Zappa best-of albums.....<br><br>My life is shallow enough as it is. I don't need to be considered a founder of a new Zappa religion....<br><br>He was a smart guy; he wrote cool music. Let's keep it at that.[/quote]<br><br>In response to the above old post: Playing Frank's music is not about religion or hero worship or impersonation or stamps or zappa dolls or lunchboxes or what have you. It's about the MUSIC.<br><br>I am a member of The Voice of Cheez. We perform FZ muzik in and around Buffalo, NY.  From this spectacular viewpoint, I will state: Frank's music is GREAT. It's even greater when you can play it yourself---if you like to be challenged and amused as a musician. VOC has a huge and truly appreciative audience for our gigs. It almost feels like being a "real" rock star, so yes, we do "get off" on the residual vibe. We even have some odd leftover Frank groupie types, and oh do they have stories to tell. <br><br>Bogus Pomp members--including Napoleon Murphy Brock---dug us back in May 2000. They had BIG GRINS on their faces...if that doesn't lend us credibility...well, then we just need to get Jimmy Carl Black to perform with us.<br><br>Somebody bootlegged us a while back, and that's been drifting around cyberspace. Stop by and feel free to bootleg some more! It's nice to be part of the current.<br><br><br>Check out The Voice of Cheez on Saturday May 10, 2003 at Nietzsches on Allen Street in Bufffalo. 8pm. <br><br>We like to play lots of tiny, fast notes, and plenty of mutated cheepnis. We are the world's' ONLY Zappa tribute band that is 50% female!!!!

I saw the muffin men recently and contrary to popular opinion on this topic I thought their guitarist was the worst thing about them. Anyway they were fun
