Concert | The Zombies, 60s Rock Act


Hailing from St. Albans, and originating in 1961, The Zombies are an English Rock band. Led by Rod Argent on piano and Colin Blunstone on vocals, the band scored US hits in the mid and late 1960s with “She’s Not There,” “Tell Her No,” and “Time of the Season.” Their 1968 album, Odessey and Oracle, is ranked 80th on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” Opening Acts: Coming together in 2009, Django Django is a British group that met at art school in Scotland and has its roots planted in London, England. This adventurous rock group melds indescribable electronic flourishes to live instrumentation. Just one listen to Adam Green & Binki Shapiro is enough to become enchanted. With deceptively pretty arrangements that echo the emotions of late-sixties folk-pop and an easygoing rapport between singers, this duet’s collaboration may seem like the perfect accompaniment to a sunny summer’s day, Southern-California style.
