It’s Bring On The Rumour Machine Time again — Idiot Bastard notes:
Despite the appearance of an ad in MOJO stating that Flo & Eddie will be on the Zappa Plays Zappa tour, Mark Volman tells me, “From the horses mouth, I tell you with clarity: NO deal yet. Sorry.†Howard Kaylan adds, “As far as I know, Flo and Eddie will not be appearing on the Zappa tour. Unless things alter drastically, the brothers seem to favour other eras of their dad’s career instead. Better check their sites to be sure.â€
Anything to make us write about Zappa Plays Zappa I guess…
At the forum of zappa.com Flo answers to questions – he also told there that their presence was not really confirmed.
Great! Best news so far! The Flo & Eddie era was the weakest. But this could just be bargaining tactics…
Oh man, thanks for that link! There sure is some interesting information and discussions going on over on that board.
Regardless, I’d love to see the Z boys play here in the states, with whoever in the lineup. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see NMN, Ike, Duke, Flo and Eddie, but I’ll just be thankful to hear His music live again
Speaking of, and I know its off-topic, I did get to hear His music performed live last night in Tampa, Florida by a fantastic band called Bogus Pomp. It honestly gave me chills to hear “Blessed Relief” and “Little House I Used To Live In”.
