Forecastle Band Lineup

None of the current members in Zappa Plays Zappa is an alum of Mothers of Invention or any of Frank's bands. And they're playing Frank's songs, as composed - "lacking Frank's iconoclastic individuality and purpose" - how can this be?

The reason this festival has probably not taken off like many others is that it is IN the city and not out in the countryside....on a farm....I was at the All Good festival the first time they had it. Now, it is getting larger and they had to move it. People at those festivals like to camp out. Can you camp out at the Forecastle?

I bet you sport a fauxhawk and wear $150 blue jeans. Stick to Fourth Street Live Poser!

This is the bet thing I've read in a while and the best music article ever. Keep crying, crybabies. I'll just keep enjoying.

Have you actually listened to any of these bands or did you just check what "wikipedia" had to say? Are there bands we actually SHOULD go check out, or should we just hang out by the beer line for the entire festival?
