The Stinkfoot Orchestra, founded by Nick Chargin to honor Frank Zappa's legacy, is experiencing high demand for performances outside the Bay Area, but logistical challenges plague their touring efforts. Recently, fans have expressed interest in booking the band for East Coast shows. Chargin acknowledges the difficulty of touring with a large 14-piece ensemble, and instead encourages fans to travel to their local shows at Club Fox. The band features Zappa alumni as frontmen, enhancing their authenticity in the homage to Zappa's music.
