Even though they are considered as ’60s baroque pop legends, The Zombies never achieved as much widespread acceptance as they deserved. To this day, they are considered as other rockers’ faves. Now the band who has reformed a few years back has announced three special screenings for their recent documentary, The Zombies: Hung Up On A Dream.
The film was a success at last year’s SXSW festival and is set for UK-wide release across all video platforms from July, when it can be rented via Amazon Prime, Apple, etc. and will be available for streaming later this year.
The Zombies will also be releasing their remastered catalogue later this year on Qprime, the first release of which will be the remaster of Odessey And Oracle.
The Zombies are an English rock band formed in St Albans in 1961. Led by keyboardist/vocalist Rod Argent and lead vocalist Colin Blunstone, the group had their first British and American hit in 1964 with “She’s Not There.” Their 1968 album Odessey and Oracle was ranked number 100 on Rolling Stone‘s 2012 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and number 243 on Rolling Stone‘s 2020 list. The Zombies were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.
