don't be such a sentimental person frank would've hated that. However, it is nice that young people are playing Frank's music, it sucks he died so young. I'm older than him now and haven't accomplished much of anything, so who cares what I have to say.
I have to give it to these kids I tried but don't have the talent or perseverance to play at all nut I defeated myself by thinking that these men and women were uniquely talented so why bother trying? Yet here they are kids who have the confidence and talent to total dedicate themselves. Support fine arts and music. Less football more music dance and the rest of the arts. can I get an amen at least about my last point?
@@highorbit3282 Some music is intentionally designed to evoke emotion, like in the movies when they start playing the violin music. The filmmakers know exactly what they're doing. Sometimes, a piece of music is so beautiful and/or complex that it can evoke an emotional response, like certain works by Mozart or Beethoven, for example. Or in the case of this video, just seeing these young people doing such a great job of carrying on FZ's music can elicit an emotion. I can relate to John Manning as I responded the same way. Would Frank have hated the fact that watching young amateur musicians perform his music would elicit an emotional response? I wouldn't be so sure. I would never put a person down for being emotionally sensitive. As I see it, it's just a sign that I am a human being and not a robot. If other people hate that about me, they can pound sand.
Refreshing to see & hear this, it's a hard find to see a woman who knows Zappa songs let alone front a young band on Vocals, Napoleon Murphy Brock and Zappa would approve 👍
Imagine walking in to a shopping centre (or wherever this is) and randomly seeing this being played... .. for a short while you'd be forgiven for thinking that all is alright with the world... 😊
Ditto, as far as I can see from what’s been said already, what lucky town gets to have you guys play outside their shopping centre car park!!! Zappa Lives on! Love your work!
Great job! At your age, my friends and I were rabid Zappa fans, but we would have struggled a bit to play Village of the Sun as well as you do here. We did play Echidna's Arf, but you guys are KILLING IT!. That is a HARD piece to play although I can still manage to get through it. I am old enough to be your Grandfather, so you youngsters have been eating your musical brain food!
The greatest thing I've seen in a long time, seeing a younger generation paying tribute to a great like Zappa ,( and so well done) is refreshing in this era!!
freaking awesome! I was listening to this when I was in your age some 40 years ago! FZ is simply the greatest and it warms my heart to see him beeing discovered by new generations.
Excellent job! I’d like to hear the back story of how you came to stumble across this music that was virtually unplayed on the radio (40 years ago when it came out)! I love it!
Wow.. I grew up listening to this music as a teenager in the 70's, what a fantastic on point performance, absolutely nailed it. You can see that these youngsters enjoyed the challenge and had fun doing it. Brought tears to my eyes.
Ran across this after looking up St. Alfonso's Breakfast on a whim after a nice dinner with wine... This brought back a great era of my life while at the same time showing me that I've accomplished nothing myself. So glad that these 'kids' are all over Zappa! May The Excentrifugal Forz Be With You!
When you are just starting out in a band aren't the songs usually simple, because your skills are still brand new ??? The most complicated song I ever played in a band was probably White Room, but further reflection might reveal another even more so. Apparently, Louie Louie & Gloria were TOO simple, and they had to go and learn some Zappa. I'm so happy to see youth embracing real music, played by real humans, using real instruments.
Haha! You reminded me...when I was a kid and just learning my first chords on a guitar, we thought if was cool to do "Smoke On the Water"! Yeah, it is amazing to see these young people tackling something as complex as this...and succeeding! Very impressive!
The band is great! The bassist is particularly good. Love it when kids play Franks music, which is exceptionally difficult and not easy for kids to identify with. Really killed it with Echidna's arf of you. But when are kid bands going to be told the truth that tambourine is not a real instrument unless you play other instruments too, or sing?
Big Applause to these musicians! Village of the sun is an incredibly complex song to play. All the crazy change-ups and time signatures make this a very difficult piece and these musicians were incredible.
Superb. I've known these two songs since they first appeared and they have a special place in my heart since I grew up in Palmdale. These kids play this almost to the letter, with half of the musicians to do so. Well done
Superb! I didn't know young people play Zappa ... I saw him do this live a couple of times back in the day, and it was almost as good as this 🙂Great work, a very heartfelt and tight tribute, nice!
Wow! These guys are so relaxed while playing the wildest and weirdest stuff on earth :-) I wonder how they got there to perform this piece with such ease ... I mean, did they have the stem sheets or were they eventually 1:1 taught (maybe as a band)? I wish I could play zappa music myself in a tribute band ... so, well done and all the best for you, guys!
I've only just seen this. Absolutely brilliant. I wonder if they're still playing FZ music? Big shout to the girl (young lady now) on keyboards. I don't see enough women playing prog type stuff but she should learn from the best which was/is the queen Ruth Underwood.
Awesome to see the younger generations performing FZ's music!
Digo lo mismo. Es buenísimo.
I reckon Frank would love it
I give these youngsters a thumbs up just for doing a Zappa tune.
Frank would be proud. Followed Frank since 69.
It is so great seeing these kid they are really going for it.
If you can play Zappa, you can play anything. Great job!

Incredible tempo throughout, nailed every part.
Props to the drummer for nailing all those time signature changes
I've been listening to Zappa since I was a kid in 67. This literally brought tears to my eyes !

John Girling, grab a tissue. They're in your purse next to your tampons.
You got that right, brother. I started with Freak Out and never looked back.
I think I would lose my shit if I happened upon this at the local mall. Probably the coolest seven young people in America today.
This is just amazing.
Instant like for Zappa covers from people with less than 35 years
Well done!
I am lost for words its nice to see my generation respecting frank zappa
These cats actually sound great! Arrangements have to be solid for a five piece to sound this full.
Zappa will never die! So good to see them young people doing such an awesome job.
You guys sound fantastic 👏🏽👌🏽
Das ist klasse! Ich freue mich sehr, dass sich auch junge Menschen mit Zappa auseinandersetzen. Auch sehr gut gespielt.
IT IS BEAUTIFUL TO SEE YOUNG GUYS APPRECIATING THE MUSICAL TREASURE FRANK LEFT US, HIS MUSIC IS NOT FASHION, IT IS ETERNAL, THANK YOU GUYS !!!
This is amazing, these kid hit it perfectly 😊
This is the best thing I have ever seen on the internet.
Refreshing to see & hear this, it's a hard find to see a woman who knows Zappa songs let alone front a young band on Vocals,
Napoleon Murphy Brock and Zappa would approve 👍
Keep the FZ music alive, America needs this.
Imagine walking in to a shopping centre (or wherever this is) and randomly seeing this being played...
.. for a short while you'd be forgiven for thinking that all is alright with the world... 😊
My dad Introduced me to Zappa. This is awesome to see young kids still learning music that isn’t just bass heavy dance musak
Wow, you guys and girls definately don't go the easy way. Great effort on a great composition, Chapeau!
I can't believe this! It's as if there are younger people who understand Zappa was our greatest composer of the century!
It warms my heart I see young people playing the music of Frank Zappa! Just the fact that they are even aware of it is great.
This made my day. Frank, your music lives on.
You guys nailed it! And that's one solid bassist, well done!
Ditto, as far as I can see from what’s been said already, what lucky town gets to have you guys play outside their
shopping centre car park!!!
Zappa Lives on! Love your work!
Easton PA Annual Garlic Fest a few years ago
That was straight up bad ass! You should be very proud of that performance!
Yeah, absolutely smokin version of Echidnas there!!!
Wow great fun,zappa would have loved this cover.
This version of Echnida's Arf is world crushing!!!!!
👍from Germany
Excellent!!! Frank would be proud!!! To youth!!!
Awesome! I love to see younger generations playing Zappa's music. I wish I was there. Keep it up!
I’m bopping in my chair, spilling my morning tea, tears of joy in my eyes.
Thank you for that. 🙏🏻❤️🎼
The next generation...beautiful
Palmdale always needed a theme song
From a 70 year old guy who saw Zappa do this live. You guys and gals are amazing
Great job! At your age, my friends and I were rabid Zappa fans, but we would have struggled a bit to play Village of the Sun as well as you do here. We did play Echidna's Arf, but you guys are KILLING IT!. That is a HARD piece to play although I

Wow, you guys, that's great....and this is a hard one to play!
and girls
@@monoped8437 "you guys" includes girls, in idiomatic American English
The girl on the keyboard was great!
It's hard to put into words how much I love this video. Thank you all!
ZAPPA FOREVER. KISSES FROM MONTERREY,
freaking awesome! I was listening to this when I was in your age some 40 years ago! FZ is simply the greatest and it warms my heart to see him beeing discovered by new generations.
This is one of FZ's most beautiful songs. What an enlightened bunch of kids.
Frank would love this whole scenario.
Well, that was awesome! Nailed it. ❤
Killed it!! Echidna’s Arf of YOU! My favorite song ever. Awesomeness
Excellent job! I’d like to hear the back story of how you came to stumble across this music that was virtually unplayed on the radio (40 years ago when it came out)! I love it!
Young people taking such a great artist. They do a fantastic job 🙂
Wow!! Extremely impressive rendition of an especially complex and ambitious piece of music. Well done indeed!!
Good God I hope the wind don't blow! This warms the caverns of my heart.
That’s amazing- great job- that’s some tough stuff you folks rocked ! Keep that Zappa music alive!!!!!!
Wow. What a talented crew. So young and into Zappa
Well done guys!! Excellent job, and inspiring to see people tackling Frank’s stuff.
Awesome stuff - classic Frank being kept alive. All your playing is terrific.
Talk about bringing tears to eyes... Thank you so much for keeping Frank alive and spreding his messege!
Wicked cover work by the band. Awesome to see the youth of America playing Zappa.
Warms the soul...
Wow.. I grew up listening to this music as a teenager in the 70's, what a fantastic on point performance, absolutely nailed it. You can see that these youngsters enjoyed the challenge and had fun doing it. Brought tears to my eyes.
Awesome to see the younger generations performing FZ's music! INDEED ! ! ! Well done !
Wow sentire giovani ragazzi suonare e apprezzare la musica del genio Frank Zappa,,è gioia per il mio cuore e felicità per le mie orecchie.
Bravi
Amazing that young kids know and want to play Zappa (and they can!)
Ran across this after looking up St. Alfonso's Breakfast on a whim after a nice dinner with wine... This brought back a great era of my life while at the same time showing me that I've accomplished nothing myself. So glad that these 'kids' are all over Zappa!
May The Excentrifugal Forz Be With You!
ZAPPA FOREVER EXCELLENT
wow this is awesome! I wish I had gone to the garlic fest 4 years ago!
Greetings Frank , well done !!! ! I have a jam now in heaven , love you all !
Wow. Just...wow. Much respect.
Thank you for sharing this cover, Frank is my favorite.
Great Googly Moogly! That was a fantastic cover. Where's Ruth?

And of course Brian Brian
And Ruthie Ruthie.

I was in a bluegrass band that did Peaches in Regalia. Nobody at the festivals liked it. We did some Monk, too.
Very cool & refreshing. Splendid!
chills! thank you for keeping one of the best American compositions alive. I can only imagine how you all are killing it today.
The band is great! The bassist is particularly good. Love it when kids play Franks music, which is exceptionally difficult and not easy for kids to identify with. Really killed it with Echidna's arf of you.
But when are kid bands going to be told the truth that tambourine is not a real instrument unless you play other instruments too, or sing?
Spotless!!
👍Great performance!!!Thanks :)
Wow, great job! We all know how difficult this music is and you guys really nailed it!
Young Zappas, love it!
You all nailed it! Congrats!
FAITH IN HUMANITY RESTORED. ✅
Bravissimi! Complimenti!
Boa, wie toll. Ihr macht mich sehr Glücklich. Klasse.....
Really amazing!
Big Applause to these musicians! Village of the sun is an incredibly complex song to play. All the crazy change-ups and time signatures make this a very difficult piece and these musicians were incredible.
Great energy ! Lovely . Thank you, Frank would dig it.
This made me so happy.
Superb.

Incredible to see people who were born after FZ died playing their songs...
Superb! I didn't know young people play Zappa ... I saw him do this live a couple of times back in the day, and it was almost as good as this 🙂Great work, a very heartfelt and tight tribute, nice!

Fantastic!
Absolutely love this, you’ve all done Frank and the band proud.
Fantastic cover! Great work!
I've only just seen this. Absolutely brilliant. I wonder if they're still playing FZ music?
Big shout to the girl (young lady now) on keyboards. I don't see enough women playing prog type stuff but she should learn from the best which was/is the queen Ruth Underwood.
Wow this is so good. Love this song
FANTASTIC!!
GREAT, the young ZAPPA Generation, wonderful
Nice to see. FZs music lives on.
awesome rendition 🙂
WOW! The Drums!
