MJR & NEIL O’BRIEN ENTERTAINMENT PRESENT THE ZOMBIES UK TOUR 2018
The Zombies are a much loved English psych rock band from St Albans, who formed part of the British Pop Invasion of the US throughout the 1960’s with bands such as The Beatles, The Stones, The Faces, Jerry and The Pacemakers & The Yardbirds. The current band line up consists of founding members Rod Argent & Colin Blunstone, alongside Steve Rodford, and Tom Toomey with Danish fan Soren Koch stepping in to replace the late Jim Rodford (The Kinks/ The Who) who sadly passed earlier this year. The band are best known for their seminal album ‘Odyssey and Oracle’ and hits such as ‘She’s Not There’, ‘Tell Her No’, and ‘Time of the Season’
Formed in 1962, the band released their debut album, ‘Begin Here’, which contained the hit, later used by Channel Perfumes for a long running ad campaign ‘She’s Not There’. The band released their second album, ‘Odessey and Oracle’, in 1968, which contained the #2 hit ‘Time of the Season’, before disbanding in 1967. Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone enjoyed successful solo careers, until they reformed in 1990, releasing a new album, ‘New World’, in 1991, followed by ‘As Far as I Can See…’ in 2004, ‘Breathe Out, Breathe In’ in 2011 and their latest release, ‘Still Got That Hunger’, in 2015, which saw a resurgence in popularity for the band who performed at Glastonbury, The Great Escape & on Later with Jools Holland (BBC) They celebrated 50 years of Odyssey and Oracle last year, with performances for Lauren Lavern on 6 Music and features on BBC 4 and The One Show, culminating in the original band line up playing the album in its entirety at London’s Palladium.
