Musical Box

Sun, 02/08/2015 - 8:00pm

Fall 1972, the English rock group Genesis began a new tour to promote their fourth album, FOXTROT.

The Musical Box is undertaking the reproduction of the original concert in painstaking detail to give people an illusion of being at the actual Genesis show. The visual reconstruction of the show was based on photos and slides of the original concerts, as well as articles from papers and magazines and information offered by numerous people who either worked on or attended the original Foxtrot tour. Couple that with the outstanding artistry and musicianship associated with The Musical Box and the audience is flawlessly transported back in time.

A unique chance to relive an historical event....

Zappa Plays Zappa

Fri, 04/10/2015 - 8:00pm

"One Size Fits All" 40th Anniversary Tour

Growing up in the Zappa family home, Dweezil Zappa marveled at his father's virtuoso skills as a composer and guitarist. After his father's passing he was inspired to do something to honor his father. Feeling as though there was a generational gap and a fair amount of public confusion as to what his father's music really was, Dweezil set about creating an opportunity for music fans to make a new discovery. Not satisfied with the generic journalistic descriptions that had been applied over the years or the accidental default association of "novelty act" he earned by way of the casual radio exposure of songs like "Don't Eat The Yellow Snow" and "Valley Girl," Dweezil Zappa decided it was time for a change. He wanted to expose core fans as well as a potential new generation of fans to his father's compositions in a way that would give them a balanced perspective of the totality of Frank Zappa's work. If Zappa Plays Zappa was to become a conduit for a new generation of people discovering Frank Zappa's music then Dweezil wanted to do his best so that very little could be lost in translation.

Into The Maelstrom is launched via InsideOut on March 3 and it’s available for pre-order now. It comes after the band’s dramatic collapse following the release of 2008 album Cheat The Gallows.

Fox recently said: “I believe it’s a real gamechanger for the band. Psychedelic cinematic landscapes and melodic prog-doom set the stage for the new album. I can’t wait for fans old and new to experience all of its apocalyptic colour.”
