we're late for class
We're Late For Class is a live, all improv college band, about a dozen rotating members, pro-herb, anti-contract and some cut & paste.

On their "Transmissions Vol.1" album, the band takes the Zappa
approach in the first track.
Here's what the website says:
"The first in a series, probably. "Sequel To The
Return Of The Son Of Monster Magnet" started out as a nod to side four of
Frank Zappa's Freak Out, but halfway through the 11 minutes turned into a
Hawkwind jam. We didn't expect that. So, we went full bore Hawkwind on
"Wind Of The Hawk." The inspiration being us previously being
accidentally inspired to sound like Hawkwind. Seemed like a good enough excuse.
Speaking of Zappa, that's actually Frank excusing himself to take a piss at the
beginning of "Glenn Miller's Luggage Is Missing, Too." It's a never
before heard snippet we managed to acquire (don't ask how), making this a
"must have" for Frank Zappa collectors out there. Yet another Creative
Accountants idea for expanding our fan base. The song itself (with overdubbed
vocals) is a spoof of Andy Mackay's similarly named tune from his 70s' rock
opera, Rock Follies, with an unlikely musical debt to an old Mothers of
Invention tune. Yet another 20 minutes of pointless improvisation from March
8-9, 2008. Except * recorded/dubbed March 15-16, 2008."
