GREETINGS FROM PAMPLONA

We, Zappa fans, see clues to our musical hero everywhere.

Below picture was sent in by Jeroen, taken in Pamplona. He added:
"Although the resemblance to Zappa is probably more a matter of chance than anything else."

THE 180Gs

 The 180Gs have recorded a cappella versions of Captain Beefheart's "Trout Mask Replica", The Residents' "The Commercial Album", and The Cardiacs' "Sing To God".
Three albums that you should have checked out in the past.

The next project by The 180Gs is "Son Of Guns", their reworking of The Cardiacs' "Guns" album.

And while at Bandcamp, also give "Reverse Engineering: Remix Contest Music 2009-2012, vol. 2" a listen. David Minnick (the 180G mastermind) isolated the vocal part of some famous songs, and added new music to it, changing harmony, rhythm and temp.
Quite interesting.
On a side note: the album has 'Well' (Don Van Vliet), taken from the 180Gs "Trout Mask Replica" as a bonus track.
