About Me

--------------- ~ ROOOP-DE-DOO-DEE-DOOOOO & WELCOME to the official ZAPPATIKA Myspace site.......(we also got anuvva Zappatika Myspace site with stuff wot we writ) ...and first off let us just say that we are honoured and humbled by those of you who appreciate our feeble attempts to recreate the atmosphere of some great musical FZ moments, and if you are some kinda NUT who has a problem with that then....catch the finger ----------But if you are a lovely,soft-natured,slightly bizarre music freak like us then stay awhile in the little world of ZAPPATiKA ....this video is called EARTH ! ********************************************************-- - ONE DAY ,back in the grey old days of the last century when people were called Ziggy Stardust....we were normal rock musicians playing a variety of blues and rock cover-shit and THEN !!!! ----------------- One night ,whilst filling a large pipe with questionable substances, we heard a Frank Zappa album .....after that - well, we just took too many drugs, drank too much beer and then just kinda lost our way ! Now we have slightly recovered and we are just happy to do our bit in promoting something like FZ’s music ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------ZAPPATIKA - LIVE on STAGE -has just been completed January 2008 and features various "well-known" family favourites ...many of which you can hear on this and our OTHER ZAPPATiKA Myspace place (see Friends below) - and what now ?? we are working on a completely mad new album which will blend DANCE music with STUNT-GUITAR !! The recording is going well and we hope that the album , The Short but Legendary Flight of the Dodo, will be with you by May-June 2008. Here is the first ’taster track’ (Heavy Shark) --- ******************************************************** Anywayzz , we hope yooooozz enyoyyzzzzz our little bit of praise for the great man....Mr Frank Zappa - no animals or republicans were injured during the making of this music ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------The logo below will take you to the all-new online ZAPPATiKA JUKEBOX where you can hear LOADZ of different stuff from us and our nutty Kelt bastard McINNES ------
