The Zombies September 28, 2011

Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone have reunited after three decades under the name of their former outfit, The Zombies. Their reunion has been embraced by the public, thanks to a hot band, some superlative new material, and a stage repertoire that draws heavily upon their catalogue of Zombies and solo hits.

The Zombies were one of the few English bands of the 1960s that enjoyed true global popularity, with two American number ones ( “She’s Not There” and “Tell Her No”), chart records throughout the rest of the world, and a deep and lasting affection for their music. The sheer consistent quality of Rod Argent and Chris White’s songwriting is rivaled only by Lennon and McCartney. The Zombies’ canon belongs on the same shelf as the other major players of the mid-1960s such as the Kinks, Yardbirds and Animals. Their records are some of the best produced and distinctive in all pop music and Odessey was ranked #80 in Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time

The Strawbs

Special guests, The Strawbs, also formed in the 1960’s and quickly made a name for themselves in the English Folk scene. However, by the early 70’s, this pioneering outfit had pushed the boundaries of the Folk genre, and their ground-breaking succession of albums such as “Hero and Heroine” and “Ghosts” earned them a Progressive Rock label in America, alongside Genesis, Yes, and Jethro Tull.
