“Homage to Zappa or not, he’s dead anyway”. Is there any artist crazier than Flat Earth Society? Perhaps not, but then again, there was Frank – Zappa, that is.
In ‘Terms of Embarrassment’ the Flat Earth Society, in combination with guitar gods Pierre Vervloesem and Mauro Pawlowski, is paying homage to the pleasantly disturbed artistic jack-of-all-trades.
Mauro Pawlowski, known for his outlandish taste for musical experiments, is a major figure in Belgian rock. He was, after all, the leader of Evil Superstars and a member of dEUS.
Pierre Vervloesem, avant-garde guitarist and a regular member of Flat Earth Society, has been called the “Belgian Frank Zappa “. Known as an experimenter in sounds and instruments, had already paid homage to Zappa by dedicating a minute of silence to him on the last track of his album “Home Made” in 1994.
Don’t expect covers, but rather a concert which will make Zappa’s trusted moustache shine once more from the grave. It is an evening of fresh material, embarrassing moments, overly long guitar solos, stirring group passages and a smattering of ‘Zappaesque’ mutations.
The tracks on this album were recorded live in 2014 over a series of concerts in Boomtown/Handelsbeurs, Ghent Stadsschouwburg, Mechelen, Lantaren Venster, Rotterdam Stadsschouwburg, Sint-Niklaas Chassé Theater and Breda.
