Frank Zappa is one of the twentieth century's most important composers. His effect on modern music is undeniable, his works the most voluminous and versatile of the entire generation rock - encompassing of course jazz as well as avant-garde, electronic, contemporary experimental and orchestral music. And the list of his collaborators and band members is a who's who of incredible musicians.Twenty years after his untimely death on December 4 1993, half a dozen of Zappa's most popular alumni are back on the mission to bring his multi-dimensional music to the world's stages again. Amongst them Zappa's longest running band member (Ed Mann), two lead singers who the great master also held in high esteem for many years (Bobby Martin and Ray White) and the man who opened Zappa's door for three (!) brothers of his before he went on to play with Ray Charles for well over a decade (Tom Fowler).

Alltogether they name themselves Ban(ne)d From Utopia, referring to the Zappa album "Man From Utopia" - but having played on almost every Mothers / Zappa album between them, they're performing classics from all eras. With their virtuoso creativity and deep history, Banned From Utopia authentically recreate the live Zappa experience, please the connoisseurs and convert the curious into dedicated fans.

They can do that on stage !

  3. The Band From Utopia impressed! The old guys were sovereign free in their performances - and delivered amazing solos and the type of collective improvisation that makes Zappa Music's tight direction and intricate events live - eyebrows!

    TBU played Cosmic Debris, and The Illinois Enema Bandit at the audience's delight - and balanced Zappa's hit parade Inca Roads and Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue in a way that has not been heard in Norway since Zappa himself was here - an awesome experience! Thanks to the organizers of Zappa Union that you got this!
