San Jose’s musical weirdos are at it again, proving that experimental rock isn’t just a relic of the past.

The Stinkfoot Orchestra, a 14-piece Frank Zappa tribute band, is about to set Redwood City’s Club Fox on fire with two epic shows that promise zero song repeats and maximum musical chaos. Founded by keyboard wizard Nick Chargin, this ensemble isn’t just another cover band - they’re musical alchemists transforming Zappa’s complex compositions into something truly extraordinary.

Musical Madness Meets Bay Area Talent

What makes Stinkfoot special isn’t just their technical prowess, but their incredible lineup. They’ve got actual Zappa alumni like Napoleon Murphy Brock, a Grammy-winning musician who brings authentic rock royalty vibes to every performance. Chargin’s vision was always to create something more than just a tribute - he wanted to capture the spirit of Zappa’s revolutionary sound.

Beyond Just Playing the Notes

The band’s members come from wildly different musical backgrounds - classical, jazz, rock - which somehow creates musical magic when they play together. “We take all of these people from different genres and put them together, and it all still works because it’s really difficult music,” Chargin explains. It’s basically a musical supergroup that would make even the most jaded music nerd geek out.

A Love Letter to Musical Weirdness

For Zappa fans and the musically curious, these shows are more than just concerts - they’re a celebration of artistic rebellion. With two nights of unique performances, Stinkfoot is proving that innovative music never truly dies - it just gets weirder and more wonderful.

Tickets are $30 online and $35 at the door. Trust us, this is one musical journey you don’t want to miss.
