Niklas Lychou and Magnus Liljeqvist have played together since childhood but started MagNiFZnt 2011. Their goal was to fix a gig at zappanale 2012, which they did!

 

- To play Zappa's music in only two guitars and singing is a big challenge, explains Niklas. We are constantly expanding our repertoire and look forward to performing music of Zappa's tunes in all possible and impossible ways!
