The Zombies reunite to play classic album
Yahoo! Music, May 2, 2007 5:00 pm PDTLegendary '60s outfit the Zombies are to reunite for two special 40th anniversary performances of their classic 1968 album Odessey And Oracle.
Colin Blunstone (vocals), Rod Argent (keyboards/vocals), Chris White (bass/vocals), and Hugh Grundy (drums) will be playing the entire LP from start to finish at London's Shepherds Bush Empire on March 7 and 8 next year. It will be the first time that the original band has played the songs together live onstage.
One member of the original lineup will be absent--Paul Atkinson died in 2004, and his role on guitar will be played by Keith Airey.
The first part of the concert will see the band play a selection of hits, as well as Colin Blunstone solo material performed with a string section, and Rod Argent & Chris White's hits from the band they formed after the Zombies, Argent.
