On March 13 Rhino Records will release both a concert CD and DVD version of LIVE AT THE BLOOMSBURY THEATRE, LONDON that coincide nicely with this upcoming tour. A more extensive US tour is in the works for summer 2007.

Although The Zombies only existed for a few brief years, the handful of records they made are some of the most enduring in musical history. Songs like "She's Not There," "Tell Her No" and "Time Of The Season" are mainstays on classic radio, soundtracks and "60s compilations, while Odessey and Oracle is a frequent entry on the All-Time Top Ten Albums lists of many critics and fans alike. Such illustrious contemporaries as Jimi Hendrix, The Byrds and John Lennon admired the band, and Elvis Presley had their singles in his jukebox at Graceland.

When the group broke up in 1968, Rod Argent went on to form his eponymous band, Argent, who's hit songs "Hold Your Head Up" and "God Gave Rock 'n' Roll To You" are considered classic rock anthems. He has since achieved success as a record producer as well as in television and stage musicals. Colin Blunstone's solo records, which feature his ethereal, fallen-angel vocals produced such stunning works as "She Loves the Way The Love Her," "I Don't Believe In Miracles" and "Caroline Goodbye." He also sang on a number of other people's records, including four by Alan Parsons Project. Blunstone and Argent released Out Of the Shadows in 2001 and are currently in the studio.
