Ugly Radio Rebellion was born in July 2002 when guitarist Scott Schroen felt inspired to start a project consisting of anyone capable of playing the music of Frank Zappa. He placed an ad 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". Groups of musicians would drill selected pieces and later everyone would vote on who they think should stay for the next round. After the carnage the four that were left ultimately became 'Uncle Meat'. They performed FZ around the Detroit area until their last show on Frank's birthday, December 2003, after which Uncle Meat was reformed as....
UGLY RADIO REBELLION!!!
Currently the band consists of Scott Schroen on guitar and vocals, a Berklee College of Music alumnus, Uncle Meat veteran, session artist and instructor. John Garland on bass, keys and vocals, currently enrolled in the WSU jazz studies program, session artist and instructor. Layla Hall on drums, vocals, bells and percussion, extensive scholastic band experience, EMU alumnus and Detroit Music Award nominee for Outstanding Acoustic Instrumentalist.
URR is one of a few bands in the U.S. that perform the music of Frank Zappa. 'We love this music and are extremely proud of what we are doing'...
