You know, for a bunch of dead guys...well, anyway. Legendary psych-pop troupe the Zombies, having recently wrapped a good sized UK tour, will hit the road tonight (July 3) in North America.

Anchored by founding members Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent, the lineup for these tours varies slightly from the more reunion-y shows the boys did to fete the 40th anniversary of their still-striking Odessey and Oracle LP last year. The current touring roster is rounded out by Rod's former Argent bandmate Jim Rodford on bass, Jim's son Steve Rodford on drums, and guitarist Keith Airey. Also note that Argent and Blunstone have been "collaborating on new studio material" under the Zombies umbrella. Fingers crossed for another Odessey, or, at least, something a fair sight better than 2004's As Far I Can See...
