Description:
Gillie's welcomes Ugly Radio Rebellion to the stage playing the music of the legendary Frank Zappa on Friday, February 1st.

Ugly Radio Rebellion was originally formed in July 2002 as a Detroit, Michigan band known as Uncle Meat. Guitarist Scott Schroen felt inspired to start a project consisting of everyone and anyone capable of playing the music of Frank Zappa. An ad was placed in the local paper simply stating, "musicians wanted to perform the music of Frank Zappa" and so ensued a few weekends of what was later dubbed, "Zappa Survivor". The project performed Frank Zappa around the greater Detroit area until the last show on FZ's birthday, December of 2003.

With only a few adjustments, Uncle Meat was disbanded and Scott Schroen and Preston Parish reformed the project as UGLY RADIO REBELLION.
