Pamela Des Barres
With Pamela Des Barres, we welcome one of the most dazzling personalities in rock history to Zappanale #35.
As a member of the legendary GTO’s, an author, an actress, and a firsthand witness to the era, she was part of Frank Zappa’s creative circle. In the late 1960s, she worked for the Zappa family and later became part of the GTO’s, a band mentored by Frank Zappa. Their album *Permanent Damage* was released in 1969 on his label, Bizarre Records. Pamela also appeared in Zappa’s film *200 Motels*.
At Zappanale, you can meet Pamela in person during a Q&A session. She’ll be signing books and sharing stories about her encounters with Frank Zappa and numerous other legends of rock history.
A very special highlight awaits you on Saturday at 5:00 p.m. on the ARF Stage: Together with Tante Tofu, Pamela will perform the GTOs’ song “I’m in Love with the Ooo-Ooo Man” live for the first time.
56 years after its creation. It will also be featured in the rock opera *SchieLa*.
Robert Davidson
We’re also pleased to welcome Robert Davidson as a special guest at Zappanale.
His name may not be immediately familiar to everyone, but his most famous photo certainly is: Robert Davidson photographed Frank Zappa in the bathroom, creating one of the most recognizable and widely circulated images in Zappa history.
For decades, the legendary poster hung in countless teenagers’ bedrooms, shared apartments, music clubs, and record stores. Now you have the rare opportunity to meet the photographer behind this iconic image in person.
At Zappanale, Robert Davidson will talk about how the photo came to be, his encounter with Frank Zappa, and his work as a photographer.
We’re looking forward to a special weekend filled with great music, exciting encounters, and plenty of stories from the Zappa universe.
