![]() ![]() Warren and Dale began writing songs together, and eventually they convinced Terry that the three of them should launch their own band. Terry Bozzio's wife Dale also contributed vocal parts to the album. After the tour, Warren returned to the studio with Zappa to work on the Joe's Garage albums, for which he provided rhythm guitar and several vocal parts. Several shows on the Spring 1979 "Human Jukebox" European/Asian tour were recorded for Zappa's live albums. In December of 1978, at the age of 22, Cuccurullo was invited to audition as a guitarist for Zappa's new road band, in which many members were replaced (including Terry and Patrick). He impressed Frank Zappa by knowing the guitar parts to every Zappa song in the catalog, including the strangest sounds and most bizarre time signatures. Over the next three years, he appeared with the band on stage at a couple of shows as well as in the 1979 Zappa film Baby Snakes (filmed October, 1977). During the mid-1970s, he befriended several members of the band, including Terry Bozzio and Patrick O'Hearn. In his teen years, Cuccurullo became a devoted fan of Frank Zappa and began travelling to every show within 500 miles of his Brooklyn home. Mayko is featured in the Duran Duran video " Breath After Breath", filmed in 1994. He has one adopted child, Mayko Cuccurullo (born July 7, 1983) who lives in Rio, Brazil with his mother, Claudia Bueno (Warren's former long-term girlfriend). He is engaged to Donna Nguyen, a Vietnamese woman living with him in the Los Angeles area. He graduated from Canarsie High School in 1974. He began playing drums and guitar as a young child. Warren is the son of Jerry and Ellen Cuccurullo, the oldest child of four, and grew up in the Canarsie neighborhood of Brooklyn.
