St Albans, England (1961 – 1968)

The Zombies were a pop rock/psychedelic rock band that formed in 1961 in St Albans, England and gained their initial reputation playing the Old Verulamians Rugby Club in that town. The group was formed whilst the members, Rod Argent, Paul Atkinson and Hugh Grundy attended St Albans School and Colin Blunstone and Chris White were at St Albans Boys’ Grammar School.

The Zombies signed to Decca and recorded their first hit, “She’s Not There” after winning a beat-group competition sponsored by the London Evening News. “She’s Not There” was released in mid-1964 and peaked at number 12 in the UK, where it would be their only Top 40 hit. It was first aired in the United States in early August 1964 on New York City rock station WINS by Stan Z. Burns, who debuted the song on his daily noontime “Hot Spot” segment during which new songs were played. The tune began to catch on in early fall and eventually climbed to #2.

After The Zombies disbanded, Rod Argent formed a band called Argent; Colin Blunstone started a solo career.

In 1991 Blunstone, Grundy and White briefly reunited as The Zombies with guitarist Sebastian Santa Maria and recorded the album New World.

In early 1965, “Tell Her No” became another big seller in the United States but had failed to make the Top 40 in the band’s native UK. Subsequent recordings such as “I Love You” (which became a hit for People! in 1968), “Indication”, “Whenever You’re Ready”, and “Is This the Dream” failed to achieve the success of the previous two singles.
