HAHAHAHA OK, OK...we're just a bunch of professional musicians with pretty diverse backgrounds who decided to take on a pretty big challenge and have some fun in the process.  Now, you might ask, “Oh yeah? Professional musicians, eh? What makes you think you can play Frank's music as well as [insert Zappa family/band member here]?” Well, maybe you haven't heard of us individually, but  "we're pretty good musicians"  and you probably have heard of the folks on our resumes:  BB King, Mick Fleetwood, Vinnie Colaiuta, Googoosh, Dweezil Zappa, LA Philharmonic, Arthur Barrow, Munich Philharmonic, Bryan Beller, Popa Chubby, Yo Yo Ma, Limelight: A Tribute To Rush, Pinetop Perkins, Chicago Lyric Opera, Madison Opera, blah blah blah....you get the idea. As for Frank's music, he was constantly changing things, both for his own creative choices and to adapt to the different musicians he had over the years. He also understood that his live performances were entertainment: it's supposed to be a rock show, not a piano recital. With all that in mind, we don't think playing Song X from Album Y note-for-note while staring at our shoes is the proper way to go about this. The result of that approach (combined with a lot of homework) is a show that pays respect to Zappa's legacy, but is also new and different and dangerous and FUN, with lots of eyebrows. Kinda like Frank.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/somethingcame-from-baltim/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/somethingcame-from-baltim/support

It was an immense joy to have the pleasure to chat a bit with the greay  @BryanBeller  from  @thearistocrats  and  @JoeSatriani  band ! We talked about bass of course but also about his relation with music composition and practice stuff. Thanks so much Bryan for your kindness

https://griffpeters.com/shop   Nature has always been spiritually grounding for singer-songwriter and guitarist Griff Peters. A few years ago, when he was mired in a heart-wrenching personal struggle, Griff went out to the beach and sat down on a rock formation where he asked himself this question: if he was told he had a year to live, what would he do?   The answer was simple—make his solo debut, Canyons and Waves  out now on Impropriety Records), a deep and sincere body of work crafted by a skilled and experienced artist with a worthy message of hope within darkness. Griff says “This is the long-awaited showing-up for my own life as an artist. The music paints a picture of an inner-knowing and the rekindling of hope when we feel lost”     I can personally confirm that Griff is a musician's musician who as a sideman guitarist has performed, recorded and toured internationally with artists such as John Mayer, Billie Myers, Bryan Beller, Nina Storey, and the Mike Keneally Band. Griff is the founder of Hilltop Frog Recording Studios, and the indie label Impropriety Records.    Outside of music Griff enjoys exploring the deep spiritual aspects of nature, art, photography, and the Zen practice of rock balancing. Griff's photography is intrinsically linked to the Canyons and Waves experience, with his 24-page liner notes of breathtaking images featured as a visual compendium to the music on the deluxe 45-RPM 180-gram double-vinyl. The vinyl, CD, and digital downloads are all available at https://griffpeters.com/shop

Episode # 183 - The Amazing Joe Satriani talks tour, new album, 'The Elephants of Mars,' 2023 G4 tour and more!

“Supergroup” is a tired, overused term in music. However, when musical aces like guitarist https://www.premierguitar.com/artists/guthrie-govan-the-linguist (Guthrie Govan), bassist Bryan Beller, and drummer Marco Minnemann jam… they are an unrivaled force of nature. Each player has a remarkable resume: Govan has worked with https://www.premierguitar.com/artists/guitarists/porcupine-tree (Steven Wilson), Hans Zimmer, and Asia; Beller with https://www.premierguitar.com/artists/guitarists/joe-satriani (Satriani), https://www.premierguitar.com/artists/guitarists/steve-vai (Vai), https://www.premierguitar.com/artists/brendon-small-sh-t-i-couldnt-do-a-year-ago (Dethklok), and https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/rig-rundown-dweezil-zappa (Dweezil Zappa); and Minnemann with the Mute Gods, Trey Gunn, H-Blockx, and Mike Keneally—among many others. What makes a supergroup novel is generally the collective's previous endeavors and collaborations. The magic with these three cats is that their superpowers combine to become a flashy and fluent highflying act. Formed unceremoniously for a performance at the 2011 Anaheim NAMM Show, this tremendously talented trio has released nine albums (five studio and four live) in 11 years. The attraction for both the audience and the band is the same: variety. In any given performance, you can hear them shift from Return to Forever to https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/rig-rundown-yes-steve-howe-and-chris-squire (Yes) to https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/rig-rundown-king-crimsons-robert-fripp (King Crimson) to https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/the-big-5/steve-vai (Vai) to https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundowns/tom-morello (Rage) to Funkadelic to moments of deranged Zappa. “We've been a pretty strange, eclectic band to begin with, as the music we do tips our hats to a lot of different styles,” notes Govan. “All I've ever done over the years I've been playing guitar is to just listen to everything around me and absorb the aspects of it that I liked. I've never felt an urge to specialize. I'm happy to keep combining whatever flavorings I like and rolling them all together.” The result: These three executive chefs put on a spicy clinic that would even please Gordon Ramsay. The Aristocrats' headlining 2022 run landed at Nashville's City Winery on July 27. Before the musical throwdown commenced, PG's Chris Kies hosted conversations that covered Beller's booming setup, including some old favorites and recovered friends (via social-media sleuthing), while Govan focused on detailing the slight-but-crucial changes to his signature Charvel and explaining his live tonal evolution—modernized with an all-encompassing Fractal Audio unit.

El estudio de Subterranea parece un campo de batalla, los miembros del equipo ya no saben distinguir lo que es arriba de lo que es abajo, lo que está aun lado o al otro, ni siquiera lo que es de lo que no es. Para colmo os traemos un programa extra-large, y encima está lleno de todo tipo de polémicas, encontronazos, tropezones y algún que otro batacazo... Menos mal que se acaba el año y, lo que es mejor, sin bajas. Pues sí, con este programa zanjamos un 2019 que ha sido de escándalo en cuanto a producción, aunque aún os dejaremos unos Outtakes antes de las uvas. Éramos conscientes de que muchas cosas interesantes iban a quedar fuera de las emisiones de Subterranea y por eso nos hemos ido inevitablemente a superar nuestras prohibidas cuatro horas de programa . Pero creemos que, al fin y al cabo, la música lo merece, así que aquí tenéis nuestra última selección de obras recientemente publicadas: Bryan Beller, Chasing the Monsoon, Finisterre, Flying Colors, IZZ, Leprous, Marillion, Richard Henshall, Vanden Plas y Yes. Volveremos ya empezado el 2020 para traeros el tan temido y a la vez ansiado programa de los tops. El equipo de Subterranea (o al menos la parte medio sana que anda por algún lado) os desea unas felices fiestas, un espléndido fin de año y una mejor entrada del nuevo, que ya se asoma muy prometedor en el horizonte temporal. Un fuerte abrazo a todos/as y gracias, una vez más, por estar ahí.

The music of Mike Keneally is creative, progressive, versatile, introspective, layered, adventurous, humorous, emotionally powerful, and musically brilliant.  Bryan walks us through his list of Keneally song selections, sharing memories of recording and performing these songs, why he chose the songs he chose, and offers some wonderfully detailed musical and technical insight.
