The True Story of the Fake Zombies
Widely available, episodes weekly
In 1969, St Albans-based band the Zombies had a hit single in the US and started gigging across the country. Except, they’d broken up years before, had no idea of their success and were not, in fact, on tour. This show is part fanboy homage, part deep dive into how two separate ensembles – including one featuring two members of ZZ Top – mercilessly pretended to be the Zombies for money. A lively piece of pop history with a wild tale behind it. Alexi Duggins
