From the Newsletter

Backdated, archival post

---&---



This is from the Zombies' newsletter.

The new album has a title now!  And Terry Quirk is doing the cover art!

Also live Odessey and Oracle shows!  I'm wondering about the "full instrumentation" though.  In the 2008 shows, they had Darian Sahanaja do the mellotron parts and some extra piano.  Is he going to do that again, or will it be someone else?

As much as I love the Zombies, I probably won't see any of these shows.  Concerts just aren't my thing.  It's too much driving and standing and then more driving.  I saw Andrew Bird and Wilco in concert three years ago, and while they were great, afterwards I felt terrible and was miserable.  So I hope that they post pictures or even videos from the concerts.

Anyway, I'm excited that it's a thing that's happening, even if I don't get to see it.  Like the newsletter says: "There may never have been a more extraordinary time to be a Zombies fan!"
