About Me

Bogus Pomp is the most unique and interesting band around. We feel that we are one of the best bands that do what we do, which is recreating the music of Frank Zappa. BP started in the summer of 1994 and since then has done amazing things and continued to grow in their chosen artistry. BP has evolved into a truly monsterous band that has become an institution of musical excellence in the Tampa Bay area.

My Interests

We like tackling the toughest, craziest, most insane arrangements and playing them with conviction, precision and humor. We like to be true to certain special things regarding the timbre and instrumentation but, we also take the same liberties that certain other peices offer so our soloists can show their personality. We love doing the hard stuff and showing how fun this music really is.

I'd like to meet:

Well,...... you know.

Music:

We do it, baby. We do it all...... from the first to the last. We do electric stuff from 1966 to 1988 and all manner of custom orchestral arrangements with our Bogus Pomp Orchestra. We also have customized acoustic band arrangements as well. **** Also, I absolutely have to give much thanks and a huge HELL YEAH to Project Object and to Ed Palermo's big band. Andre and the guys are serious road dogs and they have my utmost respect for keeping the flame. Ed and his band are incredible and they too are keepers of the flame.

Heroes:

Well,..... you know that too. Also, Unknown Hinson is a god among men. He's my homeboy. Me and that ol' boy, we drink from the same jug.
