Just a quick report to let you know that Zappa Plays Zappa will come to Japan to play next year!!! They have 3 concerts. The first one is on January 21st of 2008, which is Monday, at OSAKA ZEPP holding 720 seats and I have bought 2 tickets for the day. On the next day (2007-01-22. TUE) they will play at Tokyo, and on the day after (2008-01-23. WED) at Yokohama. And the special guests are Steve Vai and Ray White. Sadly enough is the missing/absence of Terry Bozzio.
It’s very encouraging that there is a market in Japan for Zappa music.
Encouraging in the sense that Frank’s music trancends cultures and only smart people like it.
THERE, I said it.
Domo Arigato Hiroshisan!
Oh…wish I could be there…! After the ZPZ consert in Oslo Oct. 12 2007 I have been playing Zappa 24/7 here. Have bought new CDs, but I have not been able to buy the CD from the ZPZ Tour 2007. Anyone who has some info?
Enjoy the consert, Hiroshi! : )
