Except, they play upon the interpretation of the tune, Whereas, Dweezil has the original notation and plays it mostly note for note. However, I do appreciate ANYBODY playing Zappa tunes live, no matter who they are.
If you judge by that criteria then we should all sit and wait until Dweezil, with his obnoxious personality, comes to our town to play the real notes. These guys are playing Mr Green Genes, a rather easy tune to transcribe and arrange (if you compare it to pieces like Sinister Footwear), the notes are the same as in the 1968 version, the arrangement is their own. By the way, if Dweezil was the composer of this music probably I wouldn't like it so much... there is more than notes in Frank's work.
This band is like the european version of ZPZ
