The Zombies, who formed in England in 1961, have reformed to mark the 40th anniversary of Odessey & Oracle, an album that was released in 1968 and has been ranked 80 on Rolling Stone Magazine’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The four surviving original members of The Zombies participated in a three-night series of concerts at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire Theatre between 7th and 9th March 2008 and have now embarked upon a USA tour. They play Portland’s Wonder Ballroom on July 23rd. You can buy tickets here. Check out The Zombies MySpace.

July 23rd was an awesome, 2-hour, non-stop performance, that included all their best-known songs and several new ones. Strong vocals and keyboard, backed by master guitarists. Same dynamic sound as 40-years ago.
