GIBBY HAYNES is a founder and lead singer of the legendary Punk band BUTTHOLE SURFERS. In addition, he has acted in many movies, played in side-project bands with Johnny Depp and Flea, published a YA novel, been a painter and DJ.
 
SCOTT THUNES is best known for his long tenure in FRANK ZAPPA's band during the 1980s, playing bass, singing background vocals, and serving as the official “Clonemeister”, running rehearsals for the ZAPPA band. He also recorded and toured with Zappa's sons DWEEZIL and AHMET, and his music career has included work with THE WATERBOYS, THE MOTHER HIPS and FEAR, among others. These days he is a stay-at-home dad and music teacher in the Bay Area.
 
THE SCOTT THUNES INSTITUTE OF MUSICAL EXCELLENCE is composed of a select group of music students who have been under Scott Thunes’ tutelage for the past two years. Having been FRANK ZAPPA ’s bassist from 1981 - 1988, and his rehearsal leader (CLONEMEISTER) from 1984-on, Scott is perfectly suited to lead a bunch of talented teenagers through this music.
