HISTORY
The GrandMothers were formed in August of 2002, when legendary former members of
Frank Zappa's “The Mothers of Invention” were invited to perform the music of Frank Zappa at
the Gewendhaus in Leipzig, Germany. It would be the first time that these esteemed “Mothers of
Invention” alumni would be getting together to rehearse and perform classic Frank Zappa
material.
Finally, on March 27th 2003, after 6 months of intensive rehearsals, The Grand Mothers of
Invention took the stage to a standing room only audience in Leipzig, Germany. This event was
recorded, filmed, and released by Warner Classics in Europe, and has been broadcast and rebroadcast
repeatedly on European television.
Due to the overwhelming demand since then, they have performed more than 400 concert events
across America, Australia, Canada and Europe, including performances in:
Austria, Belgium, Bosnia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, England,
France, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Italy, Norway,
Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and Wales.
Each performance providing indisputable proof that
"THEY CAN (AND DO) STILL DO THAT ON STAGE!"
