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, & 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. Musicians from the first   
   Mothers Of Invention album thru the last Zappa tour in 1988 have performed   
   with Project/Object. The band    
   is back in action in the fall of 2016 with a tour that reunites old friends   
   Ike Willis & Don Preston. The setlist features material that each of them   
   recorded with Frank, as well as 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 perhaps the most requested   
   presence by Zappa fans    
   worldwide.   
      
   Don Preston, a key member of the early Mothers Of Invention, joining for the   
   classic second album Absolutely Free, and onto the legendary We’re Only In   
   It For the Money thru Roxy & Elsewhere in 1974. Don is also well known as a   
   synthesizer and jazz    
   pioneer, playing with Nat “King” Cole and Herbie Mann. Don has also done   
   many soundtracks including Apocalypse Now.
