The Furious Bongos w/ Chad Wackerman - Frank Zappa
Celebrate Frank Zappa's Billboard Top 200 Album Bongo Fury's 50th Anniversary with The Furious Bongos featuring Chad Wackerman! Bongo Fury is a collaborative album by Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, and Zappa's band the Mothers, released in October 1975, with tracks including “Muffin Man,” “Advance Romance,” “200 Years Old” and more.
The Furious Bongos are a Frank Zappa tribute band and incredibly maintain this level of excellence, a nine-piece combo of remarkable ability. The Furious Bongos are a dynamic and precise ensemble playing with an outstanding bravura, multi-faceted vocal delivery upfront. Band members from The Furious Bongos have played with artists including BB King, Mick Fleetwood, Vinnie Colaiuta, Googoosh, Dweezil Zappa, LA Philharmonic, Arthur Barrow, Munich Philharmonic, Bryan Beller, Popa Chubby, Yo Yo Ma, Limelight: A Tribute To Rush, Pinetop Perkins, Chicago Lyric Opera, Madison Opera & more. The group describes this venture as “not a strictly tribute project,” but more of a unique band you won’t find anywhere else. The result of their approach is a show that pays respect to Zappa’s legacy, but is also new, different, dangerous and fun, with lots of eyebrows. Kinda like Frank.
