So I have a reason for not following up with a blog at midnight EST as is my usual custom. I mentioned that I was going to a concert. I went to see a Frank Zappa tribute band: Project Object. This isn't your average cover band. PO is made up of some original Zappa band members and fronted by singer/guitarist Ike Willis.
I've never been to a concert before. I tried to get some of my friends to go, but they were either busy or just being typically uninteresting... in some cases both. I took some time off to get some sleep since I was out until the next morning (we're talking sunrise).
It was a great concert. I got fairly close to the stage for the first half of the show and I was directly in front of the stage for the second set. I was able to take some pictures. Here are a few of the good ones:
It was a great concert. My only possible gripe could be that the band was not healthy. Ike Willis had a sore throat. He's the lead singer, so that changed the show entirely. BUT! We got a lot of good instrumental songs from the Frank Zappa catalog to make up for it. If they come near you, check them out.
I'll leave you with a video of them performing "Crew Slut". This isn't from the concert I was at, but you can at least hear what they sound like.
DON'T FORGET THAT TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF THE IMPRESSION POLL!
That song, Crew Slut, is very nice.
ReplyDeleteFrank Zappa is an amazing musician. Inspired great guitarist Steve Vai, and also myself.

ReplyDeleteI love Zappa, he's one of my favorite musicians/icons of all time. I've never heard of this cover band before, will hope to see them someday.
