I like this one (i have no relation with the band)

I second this recommendation - one of the very best FZ cover bands I've heard.

Another great band from Germany - maybe the Best Zappa Cover Band from there.
They do some astonishing live versions from the 'Broadway The
Hardway-Tour'. And they're all very
good musicians indeed, and they must have been practising quite some time,
that's why they had the nerve to tape these concerts from 7/8nov1997.
My favorites are The Idiot Bastard Son, Cruisin' For Burgers and of
course Zomby Woof that was played in the Dutch Radio4 Show: The Others Of
Invention on 21dec1998.

It has been some time already, but I remember seeing the tinseltown
rebellion band performing somewhere in Germany very vividly.
I can't recall the location (Köln??) - but it was a hell of a concert
(hello Jos - how are you? - and I remember talking to Horst as well)
At that time, they already had a demo-tape out but that was nothing
compared to the concert. And now
there's the cd, recorded live november 7 & 8 at the Jakobshof in Aachen,
Germany. Up-tempo Zappa, just the
way I like it. Excellent stuff.
