Scotland's Pygmy Twylyte are a tribute band navigating the vast and surreal back catalogue of musical jester Frank Zappa. Since they formed in 2018, the band have chosen a core selection of classic Zappa material, sprinkled with some of the more obscure tracks, and delighted audiences across the UK with their spectacular renditions.

Orange Claw Hammer

After the death of the avant-rock genius Don Van Vliet, better known to the world as Captain Beefheart, in December 2010, the improvising quartet Ego Ergo Aggro decided to play a one-off tribute to the great man at the Click Clack Club in Edinburgh in January 2011. This was such a blast for audience and band alike that we decided to develop the repertoire further, and were transformed into Orange Claw Hammer. Not really a “tribute band” as there are only occasional vocals, tunes from most of the Captain’s albums are interpreted as instrumentals with room for improvisation. Not too many liberties are taken so as not to disappoint Beefheart aficionados!
