Treacherous Cretins is a UK-based band that performs the works of the legendary American composer Frank Zappa. Its members have played and collaborated with the likes of Dweezil Zappa, Ike Willis, Ray White, Denny Walley, Craig “Twister” Steward and Candy Zappa. They played at Exeter Phoenix last year and are back with a revised setlist that features Zappa material they’ve never tackled before alongside the classics.
For this return to the UK they will they are performing two punishing sets with Bobby Martin, multi-instrumentalist regular member of Zappa’s band from 1982’s challenging ‘Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch’ album all the way up the great man’s passing!
In 2019, their set was a nigh spot at the 30th Anniversary Zappanale Festival in Germany: a yearly festival dedicated to Zappa’s music which draws thousands of fans from all around the world.
With a particular fondness for the more obscure, hard-to-play material and deep-cuts, Treacherous Cretins promises to deliver another stunning tribute to Zappa and his massive musical legacy. Expect a generous helping of Zappa rarities and songs seldom played live by other bands as well as plenty of fan favourites.
