The Undead Tour: How The Fake Zombies Fooled America

A British band called The Zombies had a smash hit single in America with ‘Time of the Season’ in the late 60s. Shortly afterwards, four handsome Texans hit the road pretending to be the Zombies. This is the unbelievable true story of rock’s most brazen imposters… two of whom went on to form ZZ Top.

Chameleon is a production of Campside Media and Audiochuck.
