So cal. Zappa and prog nerds $20 show alert 12/29
Forums:
One night only at the baked potato in studio city, Mike Keneally Band will perform its final show of the year with Chad wackerman on drums!
This will only b about the 5th time wackerman and Keneally have performed together since Frank Zappa dissolved his final touring group that they were both apart of in 1988.
Therefore in addition to way more free improv than Keneally band usually engages in, They'll b busting out some of keneally's oldest, strangest and rarest originals.
he has also vowed to throw in at least a couple Zappa covers, he rarely plays more than 1 per show (if that), as well as some Hendrix and even pavement tunes.
this shit is gonna b a special kind of nasty.
early and late show tickets still available, last time I was there if you paid for the early they'd let u stay for the late.
both shows will b completely different.
i'm in no position to b there but this is proving to b too much to pass up.
come, bake with me!

We all wish it was closer,
We all wish it was closer, hall, but this is what separates the prog nerd men from the boys.
and Lordy, how they were separated tonight, by the steely surgical blade of Chad wackerman who is less a drummer and more of a rhythmic surgeon.
i must attest that Keneally band is very much worth the price alone but wackerman made the travel really worth it.
He is possibly the most precise drummer I have ever seen.
he was reading some basic charts for most of the evening, But I still don't know how he managed to learn that material as well as he did.
cant imagine there was more than one rehearsal, if that.
they relied more heavily on larger improv passages than I've ever experienced from Mike Keneally band.
it was the most beautiful marriage of progressive and improvisational rock music I've ever heard.
this was not beer for Dolphins, this was a different creature altogether and I'm not even sure if it was land, sea or air in nature.
alls I know is it could pull off an instrumental 'mammy nuns' like u wouldn't believe!
i don't know what happened to Keneally and wackerman during that brief period they were in the greatest band you've never heard in your life in 1988 but there is a musical connection there that's solid as rock no matter how rarely they get to see each other.
either that or Zappa just hired supermen.
happy new year freaks, music is the best
