Gig at the Stag's Head caused dancing to Zappa!

London Zappa Collective's gig last Saturday went really well. We had them up and dancing to Zappa!

The gig's tonight

Antepenultimate rehearsal before August gig

Had a great rehearsal yesterday. Worked through the entire set list.

New numbers,  Illinois Enema Bandit and Latex Solar Beef/Willie The Pimp went particularly well and we're looking forward to unleashing these on the 11th.

Ian Stone was on bass for this session and with Olly Nelken on trombone and Jon, Jo and Steve adding vocals we played an amusing version of Peaches En Regalia (based on the Filmore East version). We'll have to see how it goes at the next rehearsal with Jimmy back on bass before we decide if it's ready to be gigged.

London Zappa Collective rehearsed yesterday at a new studio. Survival, where we had been rehearsing, has sadly closed down and so we've moved to nearby Panic Studios. Panic is very comfortable with aircon, good equipment and friendly staff an we had a great time there yesterday. We've added Latex Solar Beef to our set list and Jo and Steve did a good job of emulating Flo and Eddie. They were also nicely in sync on Pojama People as you can hear here:
