Asheville, NC - Project/Object is the longest continually touring alumni-based   
   Zappa tribute band in the world. For over twenty years they have toured with   
   more Zappa alumni than anyone other than Zappa himself. Their legendary tours   
   of the USA, Canada,    
   and Europe have paved the way for a rich variety of other excellent,   
   contemporary Zappa tributes.   
      
   Project/Object is the band that brought most of the currently touring Zappa   
   band alumni out of retirement and onto the road. The list of Zappa alumni that   
   have appeared with the band includes musicians from the first Mothers Of   
   Invention album thru the    
   last Zappa tour in 1988. Project/Object is back in action in April 2016 with a   
   tour that reunites old friends Ike Willis & Don Preston. This tour will   
   feature material that each of them recorded with Frank, as well as their   
   personal favorites, plus Zappa    
   classics from every era.   
      
   Ike Willis, voice of Joe's Garage and Thingfish, handled lead vocals and   
   rhythm guitar for virtually every Zappa Band tour and album from 1978 thru the   
   final FZ tour of 1988. Ike's booming baritone is the most requested presence   
   by fans worldwide.   
      
   Don Preston was in the early Mothers Of Invention, starting with the classics   
   Absolutely Free and We're Only In It For the Money. Don played on all the   
   Mothers records until 1974's Roxy & Elsewhere. Don Preston is, of course, also   
   well known as a    
   synthesizer and jazz pioneer. Don is responsible for scoring many film   
   soundtracks including Apocalypse Now.
