I sometimes refer to them as a “three-hit-wonder” band. (“She’s not There,” “Tell Her No,” and “Time of the Season.”)

The story of the band breaking up, then having hits, is fairly well known, and I did see a reunion concert on TV a few years ago. I hope they can recapture their old magic, because I really enjoy their sound.

When my Mrs. and I first got hitched, at our first house, across the street there was another young couple and the guy was a complete Zombies freak and would travel to their concerts (circa 1979). I myself was pretty much finished listening to rock then but I have also traveled to hear concerts a couple of times. But the guy reminded me that I liked the Zombies and I got one of their CDs on the early side of my CD collecting.
Part of why I remember it so well is that his very pretty wife made sort of threatening remarks about what she was going to do while he was gone. I guess she didn't want to go. I think she was kidding.

I saw them during the Odessey and Oracle tour in 2015. They were awesome. They were here in San Antonio last month, but I wasn't able to see them. Kind of sucks cause you never know when your last chance to see them may happen.

The Zombies music holds up very well. They recorded some great songs beyond the obvious hits that just didn't get any airplay. They had bad management and their records didn't get the promotion necessary for airplay. Even Time of the Season didn't get airplay until 1969 - two years after it was released.

I went to see them at the local arena in 1978 but they weren't there.

Considering how the music business raked artists over the coals back then, I hope they make a bit of money now...a lot of it.

I am really looking forward to seeing them this coming Thursday at their, nearly, home concert (next town to St. Albans). This is a much rearranged gig from Feb 2020, first Covid then one of the band had to have an operation. Did watch their live streamed concert though during a Covid lockdown to mitigate the disappointment of postponing the live performance. I am bad though, as I did not even realise they have released a new album. Must catch up before the gig.
