  • In 1969, the Zombies had a huge hit single, despite having broken up two years earlier. To meet the unexpected demand, one promoter did the only sensible thing: Hire four kids from Texas to tour America pretending to be a defunct British psych-rock band.

    Welcome to The True Story of The Fake Zombies. In the debut episode, host and writer Daniel Ralston introduces you to one of the strangest stories in rock and roll history.

    We meet British psychedelic rock legends, THE ZOMBIES, and uncover the origins of the young men from Texas who pretended to be them 55 years ago, including two future rock and roll icons. Then, legendary reporter, Ben Fong-Torres, tells us about his time covering The Fake Zombies. We just had to remind him that the whole thing happened first.
