Gary Calamar
The Zombies
The Zombies' Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone will be Gary Calamar's special guests at 9:00 pm. The founding members of the classic British Invasion band have reformed and just finished recording a new album. KCRW Presents their upcoming show at the Key Club in Hollywood on Friday February 27. Aside from the Beatles and perhaps the Beach Boys , no mid-'60s rock group wrote melodies as gorgeous as those of the Zombies. Dominated by Colin Blunstone's breathy vocals, choral backup harmonies, and Rod Argent's shining jazz- and classical-influenced organ and piano, the band sounded utterly unique for their era. Indeed, their material, with unexpected shifts from major to minor keys -- was perhaps too adventurous for the singles market. To this day, they're known primarily for their three big hit singles, "She's Not There" (1964), "Tell Her No" (1965), and "Time of the Season" (1969).
