The demon guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Mike Keneally, who joined the late, great Frank Zappa's band back in 1987, is behind an interesting couple of events coming up. Since the beginning of April, he has been training a group of 7 to 18 year-old musicians of varying experience to play the entire "Pink Floyd - The Wall" album. The three shows below are the public debut of Mike's first School of Rock class.

Mike is the National Music Director of the Paul Green School of Rock, and the Music Director of the new San Diego branch. He will not be performing at the shows but he will "present, conduct, cajole and make a nuisance of himself all night". The musicians are said to be fantastic and will "rock you ferociously"!

Here's where you can catch the shows, and support the efforts of the children performing the album:
