Don Preston and Bunk Gardner, both original members of the Mothers Of Invention with Frank Zappa are gearing up for an exciting east coast tour called The Don & Bunk Show. They will be playing a full range of Zappa’s music from Freak Out to Zoot Allures. The evening will be full of the zany antics, wild improvisations and strange electronic music the early Mothers were famous for along with the expert mastery of their instruments. “We’re doing this tour because I think Zappa fans need to come and hear how Zappa’s music was performed by the originals. "Hey people! We’re still doing it!!” Don said.
The Don & Bunk Show started in 2001 with Don Preston and Bunk Gardner both original members of The Mothers Of Invention with Frank Zappa.
