It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it after all. Or seven and a half. FiDO seven brave men and their madonna-like mixer embark on a "Dirty Fingers" tour in 2017, once again digging deep into the repertoire and bag of tricks of American composer, guitarist and style-setting civic terror Frank Zappa (1940-1993). FiDO shamelessly exploit improvisational freedom, break stylistic boundaries with virtuosity, and fully exploit the musical diversity and compositional humor of Zappa's work. With several inspiring live shows throughout Europe and six released recordings, the Swiss tribute orchestra has arguably earned a place in the Olympus of the worldwide Zappa community in the last decade: Stylistically confident, virtuosic, humorous and with their very own approach, FiDO and its audience are intoxicated by the brilliant work of Frank Zappa even after 13 years.
The fascination for Frank Zappa's ironic tongue-twister-frickle-rock-fusion came over bassist Pascal Grünenfelder in 1987, when in his youthful innocence he was confronted for the first time with the compositional genius and the absurd humor of pieces like Zomby Woof, Dont Eat the Yellow Snow or Dinah-Moe Humm. Overwhelmed by the musically brilliant, irreverently anti-authoritarian and humorously ironic expression of the master of all fusions, the bassist began to explore Zappa's universe with astonished ears.
Inspired by the experimental sound collages of the early Mothers of Invention, the expansive '70s jazz-rock helms, the bombastic '80s big band rock formations around Wackermann, Bozzio and Colaiuta, and the modern orchestral works of the Varese admirer Zappa, the decision matured to interpret selected gems from the almost infinite repertoire of the master himself with a bunch of like-minded people. With a lot of spirit and thieving pleasure, Grünenfelder's Rockin-Teenage-Combo invites you to a breakneck roller coaster ride through Zappa's crazy cosmos, celebrating obscure stories of talking dogs, smelly feet, sad Eskimos and all kinds of other curiosities of life. The Swiss musicians interpret Zappa's classics in affectionate arrangements virtuously for the present time, are not afraid of the unconventional handling of the great composer's material and answer Zappa's rhetorical question Does Humor Belong in Music? with an enthusiastic yes.
