The Furious Bongos are a Zappa project featuring a diverse lineup of seasoned musicians who have played alongside heavyweights like Frank (hizownself) Zappa, BB King, Mick Fleetwood, Vinnie Colaiuta, Googoosh, Dweezil Zappa, LA Philharmonic, Arthur Barrow, Munich Philharmonic, Popa Chubby, Yo Yo Ma, Pinetop Perkins, Chicago Lyric Opera, blah blah blah….you get the idea.
Legendary 1st call drummer Chad Wackerman, a 7-year Zappa band veteran, will power the rhythm section on this tour.
This isn’t strictly a “tribute” band doing a note-for-note rendition of Song X from Album Y while staring at their shoes. The result is a wildly entertaining show that pays respect to Frank Zappa’s legacy but is still new and different and dangerous, with lots of eyebrows.
Kinda like Frank.
