History

1961–1964

The Blacksmiths Armspublic houseinSt Albans,Hertfordshire, where the Zombies first met

Three members of the band,Rod Argent,Paul AtkinsonandHugh Grundy,first came together to jam in 1961 inSt Albans,Hertfordshire. Argent wanted to form a band and initially asked his elder cousinJim Rodfordto join as a bassist. At the time, Rodford was in a successful local band, the Bluetones, and so declined, but he offered to help Argent. Rodford would later join in 2004 when the band reformed. Brian Christie, a friend of Atkinson, was invited into the band. When Christie left the band in early 1962 to focus on education, he suggestedColin Blunstoneand Paul Arnold from another band, The Hoaxes, to be added, with the latter to replace him as bassist. Blunstone and Arnold joined the other three to form the band in 1961 while all five members were at school.

Some sources state that Argent, Atkinson, and Grundy were atSt Albans School,while Blunstone and Arnold were students atSt Albans Boys' Grammar School.Both Blunstone and Grundy came fromHatfieldand both sang in the choir there atSt Etheldreda's Church.Argent was a boy chorister inSt Albans Cathedral Choir.They held their original rehearsals at the Pioneer Club, then situated on Hatfield Road, using equipment lent to them by the Bluetones. They met outside the Blacksmiths Arms pub in St Albans before their first rehearsal and gained their initial reputation playing the Old Verulamians Rugby Club there.

Argent said, "We met outside a pub. We were too young to walk in the pub”. Blunstone added "I was literally in a corner singing to myself, doing a Ricky Nelson song, and Rod came over and said, 'That’s really good. I’ll tell you what. If you’ll be the lead singer, I’ll play keyboards'".

Origin of band name

Originally named the "Mustangs", the band soon realised that other groups had that name. According to Blunstone, "Every young band wants an original name. We were just in our teens. We tried the Mustangs. To be honest, I didn’t really know what a zombie was"."It was Arnold who came up with" the Zombies ".Argent said "Well, we chose that name in 1961 and, I mean, I knew vaguely that they were: sort of, you know, the Walking Dead fromHaitiand Colin didn't even really know what they were "."It was Paul [Arnold] that came up with the name. I don't know where he got it from. He very soon left the band after that". Arnold explained the name, saying, "I thought this was a name that no one else is going to have. And I just liked the whole idea of it. Colin was wary, I'm sure, at the beginning, I know, but I always, always really, really liked it".

Arnold lost interest in the band, choosing to leave to become a physician; he was replaced byChris White.

Recording contract

In 1964, the band won a £250 cash prize in a beat-group competition organised by theWatford Borough Counciland sponsored by the LondonEvening News.They signed a recording contract withDeccaand recorded their first hit, "She's Not There".It was released in mid-1964 and peaked at No. 12 in the UK, becoming their only UKTop 40hit. The tune began to catch on in the United States and eventually climbed to No. 2 in early December. It sold over one million copies and was awarded agold certificationby theRecording Industry Association of America(RIAA).

1964–1967

The Zombies in 1966. L-R: Chris White, Colin Blunstone, Hugh Grundy, Paul Atkinson and Rod Argent.

Like many other British groups, the Zombies travelled to the United States to tour on the momentum of their hit single. Among their early US gigs wereMurray the K's Christmas shows at theBrooklynFox Theatre, where the band played seven performances a day. On 12 January 1965, the band made their first in-person appearance on US television on the first episode of NBC'sHullabalooand played "She's Not There" and their new single "Tell Her No"to a screaming, hysterical audience full of teenage girls.

In the UK, the Zombies' follow-up single to "She's Not There" was written by Chris White. "Leave Me Be"was unsuccessful in the UK and, as a result, was not issued as an A-side in the US. It did appear as the B side of their second US single," Tell Her No ". Penned by Rod Argent," Tell Her No "became another big seller in 1965, peaking at No. 6 on theBillboardHot 100 in March. As the band's third UK single, "Tell Her No" failed to make the Top 40, peaking at No. 42. Subsequent singles - "She's Coming Home","I Want You Back Again","Whenever You're Ready","Is This the Dream ","Just Out of Reach"(recorded for the soundtrack of the filmBunny Lake is Missing), "Indication" and "Gotta Get a Hold of Myself" - failed to achieve the success of the previous two singles (although the Zombies had continued success in Scandinavia and the Philippines, which led to a series of concerts in 1967).A song by the Zombies released only as a B-side (to "Whenever You're Ready" ) in both the US and UK in 1965, "I Love You",subsequently became a sizeable hit for the groupPeople!in the United States in 1968.

The Zombies' first UK album,Begin Here(1965), was a mixture of original songs andrhythm and bluescover versions.Of the eight original tracks, Rod Argent supplied the album's biggest hit, "She's Not There", and the songs "Woman", "I Remember When I Loved Her", plus "The Way I Feel Inside" which was the shortest track on the album at 1:28. It might have been shorter, had not their recording manager and producerKen Jonesadded the sounds of footsteps and a coin dropping, which contributed to the feeling of alienation that the song projected. Bassist Chris White provided "I Can't Make Up My Mind", the quirky "I Don't Want to Know", plus the beaty "What More Can I Do", which, at 1:38, is the second-shortest cut on the album and contains a simple but distinctive drum riff. The final original was an instrumental written by Ken Jones, "Work 'n' Play".

The Zombies continued recording original songs through 1965 and 1966, trying to achieve chart success. There were enough tracks to have filled a follow-up album, but due to the band's lack of chart success, most of these tracks remained unissued at the time.

Odessey and Oracle

In 1967, frustrated by their continuing lack of success, the Zombies left Decca and signed a recording contract withCBS Recordsfor whom they recorded the albumOdessey and Oracleat EMI's world-famous Abbey Road studios.

The band's budget did not stretch to session musicians, so they used aMellotronto fill out their arrangements. According to Argent,they usedJohn Lennon'sMellotron, which had been left in the studio afterthe Beatles' sessions forSgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.The album was mixed into the standard mono; however, as another concession toward their limited budget, Argent and White (who, due to their songwriting royalties, had earned more than the rest of the members) personally paid for stereo mixes.

The change in direction was evident on their first single released by CBS, "Care of Cell 44",a song about the anticipation felt while waiting for the singer's partner to be released from prison. It is also notable that the title of the song does not appear anywhere in the lyrics. Unfortunately, like their previous Decca releases, it failed to reach the charts. A second CBS single," Friends of Mine ", was also unsuccessful.

Misspelled title word

Art teacher Terry Quirk misspelt the word "Odyssey" in the album title as "Odessey" while designing the album cover.Quirk was Blunstone's and White's childhood friend and was living with White and Argent in their apartment during the album's recording. Regarding the misspelling, Quirk said, "There’s lots of theories online about why it’s spelt wrong, but there’s no conspiracy".

Band break-up

With the band experiencing a declining demand for live appearances, they split up after a final gig in mid-December 1967.

In April 1968, Argent explained the reason for the band breaking up, saying "We don't want to end up playing for £20 a night in third-class ballrooms. We are still in big demand on the university circuit and are getting a lot of work. We want to quit while the going's good".

Release of last Zombies album

Odessey and Oracle,the band's swansong album, was released in the UK in April1968, months after the band's breakup. The album suffered poor sales. It was only released in the US because musicianAl Kooper,then signed to Columbia Records, convinced the label of the album's merits. One of its tracks, "Time of the Season",written by Argent, was released as a single in 1968 and spent a long period as a 'sleeper'. Eventually, in 1969, it grew to become a nationwide hit in the US, peaking in the Hot 100 (Billboard) at No. 3.

Unreleased final album

In 1968, Argent and White began working on material for a possible new band when they were approached by CBS to do another Zombies album. Several new Argent/White songs were cut, initially with a line-up of Argent, White, Hugh Grundy and Rick Birkett (guitar), with the latter three being replaced during the sessions byJim Rodford(bass),Bob Henrit(drums) andRuss Ballard(guitar). The new tracks were combined with some old Decca out-takes and demos that were overdubbed and enhanced in sessions at Morgan Studios in London. The album, scheduled for release in 1969, was cancelled, and only a couple of the songs, "Imagine the Swan" (one of the newly recorded songs) and "If It Don't Work Out" (a demo of a song thatDusty Springfieldrecorded and released in 1965), were put out as singles instead. Some of this material was released on various compilation albums during the 1970s and 1980s, including 1973'sTime of the Zombies,and the whole album, titledR.I.P.,was released in Japan in 2000.

Post–Zombies (1969–1988)

The original line-up declined to regroup for concerts following the belated American success of "Time of the Season". In turn, various concocted bands tried to capitalise on the success and falsely toured under the band's name. In a scheme organised by Delta Promotions, an agency that also created fake touring versions ofThe AnimalsandThe Archies,two fake Zombie line-ups were touring simultaneously in 1969, one hailing from Texas, the other from Michigan.The Texas group featured bassistDusty Hilland drummerFrank Beard,soon to be members ofZZ Top.Another group toured in 1988, going so far as to not only trademark the group's name (the real band had let it lapse) but also recruit a bass guitarist named Ronald Hugh Grundy, claiming that original drummer Hugh Grundy had switched instruments.

In 1969, the last line-up of the Zombies - Argent, Ballard, Rodford and Henrit - began working under a new name,Argent,with White as a non-performing songwriter. Atkinson worked in A&R atColumbiaand Grundy joined him there after a brief spell in auto sales. Blunstone started a solo career after a brief period outside the music business, including working in the burglary claims section of theSun Allianceinsurance company. Both Argent and White provided him with new songs. He also did studio vocals forthe Alan Parsons Project.Atkinson retired as a performer and worked as anA&Rexecutive for many years.

1989–1999

In 1989, Blunstone, White and Grundy briefly reunited as the Zombies with guitarist/keyboardistSebastian Santa Mariaand recorded the albumThe Return of the Zombies,released in some European countries in February 1990. The UK release was held back to April 1991, when a reconfigured version of the album was issued asNew World.

A 1997, 120-track compilation of the original band's work,Zombie Heaven,was released on UK Ace/Big beat.The compilation contains all the band's Decca/Parrot recordings (in mono), the entireOdessey And OracleLP (in stereo), the material that would have made up the unissuedR.I.P.LP, several unissued recordings and a disc of recordings made for the BBC. On 25 November 1997, all five Zombies reunited atthe Jazz Caféin London'sCamden Townas part of a solo show by Blunstone to perform "She's Not There" and "Time of the Season" to promote the release ofZombie Heaven.

Blunstone and Argent did not play together again until late 1999. Argent spotted Blunstone in the audience while performing at a charity concert for jazz musicianJohn Dankworthand invited him onstage for an impromptu reunion. This positive experience set the stage for further collaborations to come.

2000–present

The twosome reunited to play shows together in 2000 under the Colin Blunstone & Rod Argent moniker and moved to the U.S. in 2001. They recorded an album,Out of the Shadows(2001), and continued playing live shows together into 2004 when they began going out under the name "The Zombies" again.The new line-up included Keith Airey (brother ofDon Airey) on guitar,Jim Rodfordon bass and his son Steve Rodford on drums.

In 2002, Ace/Big Beat released the 48-trackThe Decca Stereo Anthology,which, for the first time, mixed all the Decca/Parrot recordings into true stereo. An album of new material released in 2004,As Far as I Can See...,received poor-to-scathing reviews from bothPitchforkandAllMusic.

In January 2004, guitarist Paul Atkinson received the President's Merit Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences at a benefit concert at the House of Blues in Los Angeles, California. The Zombies reunited for the event, which turned out to be Atkinson's last performance with them.He died later that year on 1 April 2004, inSanta Monica, California,from liver and kidney disease.

In 2005, Blunstone and Argent released a DVD and 2-CD album (Live at the Bloomsbury Theatre) and continued touring with the Zombies. To mark the 40th anniversary ofOdessey and Oracle,the four surviving original members of the Zombies participated in a three-night series of concerts at London'sShepherd's BushEmpire Theatre between 7 and 9 March 2008.Blunstone and Argent's respective websites had advertised that the concert of 8 March was recorded for a CD and DVD release later in 2008, and the CD was officially posted byAmazon.comto be pre-sold for a release of 1 July 2008. Both CD and DVD were officially released in the UK and several other countries.

In 2006, Argent performed and toured withRingo Starras part of theAll-Starr Band.Argent performed the Zombies' songs "She's Not There"and"Time of the Season"as well as"Hold Your Head Up"from his other musical group,Argent.

In 2010, Ace Records released a series of six 7-inch vinyl EPs. All the tracks were new to vinyl, with some rarities taken from theZombie Heavenbox set, as well as previously unreleased material. Tom Toomey replaced Airey on guitar. In 2011, "The Zombies featuring Colin Blunstone & Rod Argent" released their new studio albumBreathe Out, Breathe In.Reviews were generally strong,and included 4-star reviews from publications includingRecord Collector,Q,Uncut,theDaily MirrorandThe Independent.The band set out to tour annually in the UK, US, Canada and Netherlands. The 2011 tour included Japan, France, Germany, Greece and Israel.

In 2012, band members participated in the unveiling of a commemorative plaque at the Blacksmith's Arms, a St Albans pub where the Zombies met for their first rehearsal.

On 19 July 2013, it was announced that the band would be appearing on the second annual Moody Blues Cruise,2–7 April 2014 on the cruise ship MSC Ship Divina.

In 2014, the Zombies performed in festival circuits, including the Austin Psych Festival and San FranciscoStern Grove Festival.The next year, the band announced they would embark on a 2015 American tour of theOdessey and Oraclealbum with White and Grundy returning.

The Zombies' sixth album,Still Got That Hunger,produced by Chris Potter, was announced for a release date of 9 October 2015.The album's recording was successfully funded by crowdfunding servicePledgeMusicduring August 2014.The Zombies toured the US in the autumn of 2015 to promoteStill Got That Hungerand were again joined by surviving former members White and Grundy, along with keyboardistDarian Sahanajaand White's wife Viv Boucherat (on backing vocals) to play the entireOdessey & Oraclealbum.

The Zombies most recent album,Different Game,was released in March 2023.Originally recorded after the groups Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2019, the recording was put on hold when the Covid pandemic hit. According to the band, the album was recorded to sound like a live performance to "capture that magical, fleeting quality of energy and immediacy of performance". The album was released onCooking Vinyl.A track from the album, Dropped Reeling & Stupid, was released as a single, their first since 1969.

A documentary, Hung Up On A Dream, was released in November 2023.The film went through the history of the band, including how they were formed, their prime in the 1960s, and the band members subsequent careers and reforming the Zombies.The documentary was won two awards and was nominated once for events includingKraków Film Festival,Nantucket Film Festival,and Borrego Springs Film Festival.

Rod Argent's retirement from touring

On 11 July 2024, shortly after celebrating his 79th birthday and 52nd wedding anniversary in London, the band announced on social media that Rod Argent had suffered a stroke. He was advised by doctors to take "several months of rest and recuperation", and so, made the decision to stop touring.

50th anniversary ofOdessey and Oracle

In 2017, the four surviving original members (Colin Blunstone,Rod Argent,Chris WhiteandHugh Grundy) re-united for a North American tour marking the 50th anniversary of the recording ofOdessey and Oracle.The first stop on this tour was a first-time performance in Jamaica, as the featured artist on the Flower Power Cruise on the Celebrity Summit while in port inFalmouth.A popularpodcast,S-Town,used "A Rose for Emily" as its closing music.This exposure helped The Zombies land a guest appearance onConanin May 2017.

Commenting on the album's half-century of popularity, Argent said, “At the time we made it, we would have thought it was complete craziness that the songs would resonate 50 years later".

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

On 16 October 2013, the Zombies were announced as nominees for inclusion to theRock and Roll Hall of Fame,the first nomination for the band since coming into eligibility in 1990.
