PETULANT FRENZY is a group of Sydney musicians who share a love of the music of Frank Zappa, which is lucky, really, as that's all they play. They also share the outrageous fearlessness required to tackle FZ's spectacular oeuvre.

Not concentrating on any particular era, album or form allows them to careen wildly between the many FZ genres and put shows together that are less about wearing the moustache and SG, but more about performing it the way Frank would hopefully have enjoyed hearing it - an eyebrow-wiggling blend of total respect and utter irreverence.

Showing strong evidence of a desire for frivolity and musical narcissism over an apparent lack of self-control and good sense, the Frenzy has recently morphed into a ten-piece, so punters are advised to bring a helmet. Expect plenty of notes, much silliness, lumps of seriousness, potential semi-nudity and other various stagecraft devices, served with great, steaming dollops of the unexpected. And if you're still sceptical, ask these guys what they reckon:

"The best Zappa covers band I've heard" - Arthur Barrow, Zappa's bass player '78-'80/'83

"Describing Petulant Frenzy as a ''Frank Zappa covers band'' is akin to describing the Australian Chamber Orchestra as ''a group that rehashes old Mozart hits" - Pat Sheil, Sydney Morning Herald

"Fantastic! Really sweet sound." - Greg Proops, famous American guy.

"OFF.....THE....HOOK!!!! Love it!" - Some guy on Youtube

"OK huge call but I feel like you guys are close to the best Zappa covers band in the world!!" - A different guy on Youtube
