About this concert
A Celebration of the music of FRANK ZAPPA featuring, member of the Mothers Of Invention Robert Martin.
Following a successful Autumn tour in 2022, the Treacherous Cretins are delighted to be touring with Robert Martin (multimartinmusic.com) who as well as performing with FZ throughout the 80s has worked with other Rock ’N’ Roll, Pop and Jazz greats, including Hall Of Fame inductees and icons including Paul McCartney, Prince, The Moody Blues, and Etta James (on tour with the Rolling Stones), to name a few.
After Robert joined Frank Zappa’s band, he performed on all of Frank's tours and live albums from that time on. In between tours with Zappa, he earned the position of Musical Director for Bette Midler, and toured or performed with Michael McDonald, Stevie Nicks, Boz Scaggs, Etta James, Patti LaBelle, Bonnie Raitt, Kenny Loggins and many others. He is quite simply an outstanding multi-instrumentalist/vocalist and all round performer.
Treacherous Cretins is a UK based band that performs the works of the legendary American composer Frank Zappa. Its members have played and collaborated with the likes of Dweezil Zappa, Robert Martin, Ike Willis, Ray White, Denny Walley, Craig “Twister” Steward, Candy Zappa and more.
In 2019, they played the opening slot at the 30th Anniversary Zappanale Festival in Bad Doberan, Germany: a yearly festival dedicated to Zappa’s music which draws thousands of fans from all around the world

Treacherous Cretins Biography
A live show from Treacherous Cretins ft. Frank Zappa alumni Robert ‘Bobby’ Martin
Following a successful February tour in 2022, the Treacherous Cretins are delighted to be touring again with ex-Zappa vocalist, keyboardist and saxophonist Robert “Bobby” Martin!
Treacherous Cretins is a UK-based band that performs the works of the legendary American composer Frank Zappa. Its members have played and collaborated with the likes of Dweezil Zappa, Ike Willis, Ray White, Denny Walley, Craig “Twister” Steward and Candy Zappa.
For this tour they are performing two punishing sets with Robert 'Bobby' Martin, multi-instrumentalist regular member of Zappa’s band. After Robert joined Frank Zappa’s band in 1981, he performed on all of Frank’s tours and live albums from that time on. In between tours with Zappa, Robert worked with other musical greats, including Stevie Nicks, Michael McDonald, Paul McCartney, Prince, The Moody Blues, and Etta James, and more. Robert is also a member of The Zappa Band, regularly playing alongside other ex-Zappa bandmembers and keeping the music alive.
Treacherous Cretins is a UK based band formed in 2018 that strives to represent a broad spectrum of Zappa’s music and expose the music to new fans.
Zappa was a musical iconoclast – known for his “hard-to-play” musical material, humorous and satirical lyrics, and fusion of musical styles. Frank Zappa’s music is so important to so many people, yet they get to hear it performed live so infrequently. Treacherous Cretins’ aim is to keep Zappa’s legacy alive, introduce his music to new generations of fans, and have fun doing it!
They agree with Zappa’s simple, but now iconic quote: “Music is the best!”
