Flat Earth Society

Flat Earth Society is a big band led by composer, arranger, producer and clarinettist Peter Vermeersch. To attempt to describe their music is an impossible (and pointless) task. But it is clear that the old Frank has made quite an impression on the young Peter. Under the title 'Terms of Embarrassment', Flat Earth Society, featuring the heathen guitar gods Pierre Vervloesem and Mauro Pawlowski, pays homage to Mr Zappa. Don't expect covers, but a concert that will make the famous moustache gleam once again in the grave. An evening mainly of fresh material, wonderfully embarrassing moments, new pieces like 'Hail Gail!', 'Me Standard, You Poor' and 'Who's wrong, who's right and who's left behind', over-long guitar solos and tight, exciting collective passages. And for anyone who, given the context, might get into trouble because of this: don't worry, Frank is dead anyway. Capt. Cheese Beard & The 7 Sisters of Prevention is the best-kept Zappa secret in this country. This ten-man band from Brussels consists mainly of classically schooled musicians. The group was set up in 2006, when it already performed at the Zappanale. They will be presenting a selection of the best rock songs from the Zappa repertoire, including Pygmy Ponyhumor! For 'Arf! Arf! Arf!' they will be supported by Robert ('Bobby') Martin, Frank Zappa's ex-singer, saxophonist and keyboard player.
