SHOW CANCELLED

The Grande Mothers were denied entry into Canada last night. They were on their way from Los Angeles, where they are based, to Vancouver, where they were scheduled to play a concert at the Biltmore Cabaret before making their way up to Whitehorse for the YAC March 5 concert. The Grande Mothers were delayed 5 hours at the border and eventually 2 original MOI members were sent back to LA. The Grande Mothers, Re:Invented, is anchored by three Mothers of Invention alumni, and is widely considered to be the closest thing to the original as far as keeping the music of Frank Zappa alive and well. Understandably, the band has been a staple on the international tour circuit for many, many years. Their last Canadian gig was a year ago… in Vancouver. Frank Zappa (who was the most vocal defender of freedom of expression in all its forms) must be rolling around in his grave.

(Oh No)

We are confident that it is simply a matter of time before we can cut through the red maple tinged tape, at which point we will be only too happy to present the Grande Mothers at the Yukon Arts Centre. It is likely not to be until fall, however.
We will keep you posted. The Yukon Arts Centre is offering ticket holders the choice of either getting a full refund or having their tickets held for the new concert date.
Patrons who haven't been called yet can contact the YAC Box Office (667-8574 or tix1@yac.ca).
