On September 10, the legend of Frank Zappa lives on as his son Dweezil brings the ferociously grinding grooves and surrealist lyrical musings of his father to Fort Lauderdale’s Culture Room.

Frank Zappa created the kind of music that changed lives, creating thousands of converts to the wonderful, wild, and weird world of his seminal band, the Mothers of Invention. Dweezil’s take on the music will allow many fans to experience classics like “Penguins in Bondage,” “Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow,” and “Cosmic Debris” live for the first time. Frank Zappa would have been 75 this year; what better way to celebrate than head down to the Culture Room.
