Biography

A fraternity of musicians that have collaborated with the great Frank Zappa at one point or another, Banned From Utopia is an extension of Zappa's emphasis on spontaneous music. Covering Zappa songs with a loose vibe and exploratory approach while also writing their own material, BFU (as they refer to themselves) lovingly recreate the wacky virtuoso approach of their former band leader. Forming in 1994, they have been touring the country ever since with their funky hard rock stew and unique Zappa interpretations. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide
