 LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ ZAPPATiKA Official Website) - ZAPPATiKA is perhaps one of the strangest bands around today who are grasping the "Zappa-esque" genre very much for their own ! With a host of their own eclectic compositions and a huge set list of Zappa tunes too,ZAPPATiKA is a very busy and popular live band at festivals and good venues around Europe. Their first studio offering, The Short but legendary Flight of the Dodo, has been very well received and will be followed by the second album Natural Born Killers ,early in 2010. Starting out as a 5 piece they first expanded to 6 and ,this summer, have been auditioning for "Anything up to 10 musicans" ,says band leader Mcinnes, "a 3rd guitar player,to alleviate some of the work and give some more theatrical freedom on stage.... plus a new (very young) keyboard player. We've also been looking at a trumpet player, a saxofonist and even had a listen to a Bagpipe guy recently! More guys ,or girls, on stage just makes the live show even more fun ,for us - and the audience !"
