Remember She's Not There in 1964? Interview with The Zombies
These two men and the British Invasion band they formed in 1961 have made history; together with The Tremeloes , The Merseybeats , Gerry and the Pacemakers , The Animals , Christie and of course, The Beatles , The Zombies reached worldwide success in the mid-1960s and went on tour in the United States performing their smashing hits Time Of The Season and She's Not There?overseas.
As most Swinging London fans will already know, The Beatles did actually bring The Zombies luck when - after famously recording their signature album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band at the London Abbey Road Studios in 1967 - they left behind a mellotron; the musical instrument belonged to John Lennon and was later used by The Zombies to record their fortunate second studio album Odessey and Oracle, which was also made at Abbey Road.
In a career spanning over 60 years which culminated in their induction into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside Janet Jackson, Radiohead and The Cure in 2019, the St Albans-born band has published a plethora of studio albums and live works and is regularly touring and recording new music.
The Zombies' founder and keyboardist Rod Argent and The Zombies' lead vocalist Colin Blunstone are both in today to discuss their invaluable music legacy.
