 They will play in a club "Stodoła" in Warsaw on 3 June. Looks like a good show to me. Edited by Tuzvihar - April 05 2009 at 04:16 |

Just saw them yesterday!
 I still hear the music in my ears. The show was absolutely magnificent! Might be the best one I ever saw! Well, ad rem. First of all I was surprised 'cos they were damn punctual. The show was to start at 8:30 PM and exactly at that time, not a minute late, the band entered the stage. It consisted of seven musicians. There was Dweezil of course and another guy on guitars, a bassist, drummer, another guy on percussion instruments such as bongos and cymbals. And there was a very good looking chick who played the keyboard, saxes and flute. The lead vocalist entered the stage as the last one. Actually all band members sung (but the guy on bongos, I think). At the beginning Dweezil said hello to the audience and talked a little bit when suddenly someone from the back shouted: "Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar!"  Dweezil smiled and answered "Yeah!" and the music kicked in.The music and band's interaction with the audience throughout the show was excellent. All musicians did solos (sax solos by the lass were incredible!). And as for the setlist, here it goes: 1. Black Napkins – segue 2. Montana – segue 3. Wind Up Workin’ In a Gas Station – segue 4. Magic Fingers – segue 5. Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy 6. Village Of the Sun - segue 7. Echidna’s Arf – segue 8. Don’t You Ever Wash That Thing? 9. Dirty Love 10. Peaches En Regalia 11. G-spot Tornado 12. Inca Roads 13. Lucille – segue 14. Outside Now 15. Bamboozled By Love 16. Pound For a Brown – Band solos 17. Cosmik Debris – short solos – end of show Encore 18. Zomby Woof 19. Willie The Pimp After the gig the band was giving autographs and Dweezil also dispensed guitar picks. I managed to get Dweezil's autograph on my ticket but I was almost crushed by the crowd. People are crazy! What else to add? The vocalist. His voice and humor magnificently amalgamates with Franks music. And he also turned out to be a real virtuoso of armpit-farting.

Her name is Scheila Gonzalez and she is a fantastic musican. Not only all the instruments but some of the weird voices Zappa always puts in the harmonies as well. What a great find by Dweezil. I have seen the ZPZ three times but will not be seeing it this year. It is well worth it!

Yeah, he was insane! He could sing anything! Really deep, really high, make all kinds of sounds, whistle... He even played a solo on some kind of megaphone  |
