Lather (pronounced Leather) have been Australia's leading purveyors of the music of Frank Zappa since 2008.
Another epic set from this band who play Zappa music and do so extremely well.
Sound mix was excellent and the audience of several hundred did little talking, no conversation took place near us during songs. The addition of the most excellent violin player really gave the band a boost !
