It’s the time of meeting 🙂Â
When people ask us what our favourite bands are The Zombies are always amongst the very first that come to mind. When we went to see them at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London last week we were finally able to tell them in person just how big of an influence they have been on our music and how groovy we think they are. Because boy, are they groovy!
The whole band put on a fantastic show and we don’t think there was a person in that room that didn’t go to bed smiling and humming.
Go see them live if you get a chance and check their website for tour dates.
Stay groovy,
Mona and Lisa

Wow great!! You together with The Zombies, what a band, one of the trendsetters of the 60’s! Colin Blunstone’s vocals on Old and Wise are a killer!!! Goosebumps!
I recently watched a PBS concert from a few years ago on British artists from the 60’s and it was quite satisfying seeing so many of them still performing. I can’t remember all of them, but a few included Eric Burdon, Lulu, Petula Clark, Gerry & The Pacemakers….and yes, the Zombies were part of the show. I couldn’t believe how Colin Blunstone could still hit the original high notes in… Read more »
I’m not (quite) old enough to have been a first generation Zombies fan, but I have loved them for decades. They seem to be one of those bands that people have either never heard of or will list as a personal favorite. I know that I do… and I am delighted to hear that MLT do as well! 🙂 If I may take this opportunity to sneak in a plug….… Read more »
