The crowd was fittingly bizarre at the Ogden Theatre last Friday as fans old and new made their way in the doors for Zappa Plays Zappa. The late musical genius Frank Zappa is remembered for his off-beat sound, insanely intricate songwriting and preposterously hilarious lyrics. On Friday Dweezil Zappa and his band covered his father’s ‘Roxy & Elsewhere’ album in its entirety. The performance included theatrical elements, an array of musical instruments and talent, and a whole lot of perplexing lyrics–it was a perfect homage to Frank Zappa.

Little Feat is a band that has been in the trenches of Rock and Roll since the revolution began. In 1969, Frank Zappa suggested Lowel George leave The Mothers of Invention and form his own band, and that same year George formed Little Feat with the goal of combining Blues, Funk, Country, Folk, Rhythm and Blues and Rock and Roll. Listen Up Denver! had the honor of catching up with Little Feat’s Paul Barrere while he was in a hotel in New York, and we talked Feat past and present.
