.....G.Z. ALERT.....

Project/Object Show Cancelled
Friday 21 November 2008
Bill's Bar - Boston Mass.
"Due to Adelaide Gail Zappa and her incessant, worldwide legal attacks on fans honoring Frank Zappa's music, and attempts to negate his request (according to the Zappa hotline, Dec 1993) to "Play My Music", the Project/Object show for Fri 21 Nov 2008, at Bill's Bar in Boston, has been cancelled.

Stand by for further details on the threatening letters. All other shows, have proceeded fantastically or are proceeding as planned, since what we do is 100% legal under US law. It's sad that lawyers are being enriched every year by this useless letter-writing campaign (all clubs also get threat letters).

FYI - The band Ugly Radio Rebellion, who you'll remember was under attack for Dec. 2007 shows, just had to cancel all their Nov 2008 shows due to a couple of clubs' unfounded fears of Adelaide Gail Zappa suing them. Bogus Pomp in Florida also recently was attacked for celebrating this music. Artists in Germany also continue to be attacked. What a waste of good money that could be used to release more Zappa music......

We are not breaking any laws and we will continue to perform Frank Zappa music for you. And maybe even a little of the music of Mozart, Stravinsky, Gustav Holst, The Seeds ('Pushing Too Hard' used in 'Sy Borg'), Yes (1984 'bamboozled' solo section), The Beatles (medley played on 1988 Zappa tour), Richard Berry (Frank quoted "Louie Louie" DOZENS of times), Herbie Hancock (riffs quoted in 'Greggery Peccary'), Culture Club ('I'll tumble for ya'), The Doors ('The End', 'Light My Fire')..and on and on and on....

I am conducting research into where and when Frank Zappa got permission to perform, record or parodize ALL of these and many, many other various artists' music. Of course sometimes he sought permission, and when RECORDED and RELEASED, he certainly paid mechanical royalties. But certainly many times he didn't.

For a guy who has a LARGE part of his art based on USING THE MATERIAL OF OTHERS, his estate is strangely, hypocritically opposed to any one else doing the same!

Thank you,
Andre Cholmondeley

Catch Ike along with Project/Object on this East Coast jaunt!
And stay tuned right here to always find out more about the "Adventures of Ike Willis".
 

A message from Project/Object.
 In the spirit of Frank Zappa's final message to the fans... "PLAY MY MUSIC"....
 We are delighted and proud to announce that in November we will be doing a short tour in the NE USA.
Our special guests will be the two gentlemen who have had the distinction of recording & touring with Frank for the longest time of any of his band members.
Ed Mann started his tenure with Zappa when he applied percussion overdubs to "Zappa In New York".
 Ike Willis joined in 1978, and together or individually they appeared on every Zappa tour thereafter, and almost every album until his tragic death.
Both Ed and Ike were integral parts of Zappa's final tour in 1988, some say his most historic tour,
and one that he certainly richly represented to his fan base with several live recordings.

                    One of Frank's greatest skills was -- his incredible sixth sense in identifying something magical in each of the musicians he hired.
Recognizing this - Project/Object continues it's singular mission to present the music as it was recorded -but also to respect and develop
the creative "LIVE" aspect that Zappa always pushed his band towards.
With the support of the FANS, we choose to do this with the "Alumni"....the people who were there with Frank as the music was created, recorded and performed.

The band will also feature Andre' Cholmondeley (gtr/voc), Dave Johnsen (bass/voc),
Eric Svalgard (keys/voc), Eric Slick (drums/voc) and on most dates -Robbie "Seahag" Mangano (gtr/voc)
