An obsessive recordist, later albums were often recorded live on portable 24 track tape machines. ‘The Man From Utopia’, ‘Broadway the Hard Way’ and ‘Ship Arriving Too Late... Read Full Story

If you want to stage a festival honoring Frank Zappa - you might have to reckon with the Zappa Trust, headed up by Frank Zappa's widow, Gail.

This week in a Düsseldorf court house Zappanale faced off against the Zappa Family Trust. The case is mainly about trademark rights/copyright of songs and products ... including the famous Zappa...

Fifteen years after his death, Frank Zappa is undergoing a renaissance. Son Dweezil and band are touring the nation as Zappa Plays Zappa , and Zappa’s rock opera “Joe’s Garage” is receiving its stage premiere , a mere 29 years after the albums’ release. Yes, albums. Act 1 was released as a single LP, shortly followed by Acts 2 and 3 in a two-record set. I bought both (or all) of them when they came out in 1979, for what felt at the time like a healthy chunk of change for a guy still in high... Read Full Story

My choice today for this week's Rock Clip of the Week is a little off the beaten path for me. It's not a performance per se but the first part of a several-part documentary on Frank Zappa and the Mothers, made by Dutch TV VPRO way back in 1971. If you've never seen or heard any music from American composer Frank Zappa , do yourself a favor and check this rare documentary (with lots of onstage footage from the Fillmore West with backing singers Flo & Eddie). How rare, you ask? Even Howard... Read Full Story
